Andrew | Old Pictures of 1979 | ||
2013 Memorial Day Car Show Winner!
|
I got to attend a show in Columbia where DB and Curtis were razing my about not owning a C3, but promised pictures of my old C3, if I could find them. Well, I found them. Keep in mind that these are pictures of pictures taken with a Wal Mart disposable camera. Anyway, hope ya'll enjoy.
I still miss this old car!!

That's a slick looking car Andrew...I sure wish you still had it too. Sounds like you and that car had a lot of history.

WOW, I forgot about posting this one. It ran pretty good. It had a warmed over 383 with a 4 speed and 4.10 or better rear end. Quick car, but ran out of steam quickly. The 4 speed made this car fun. That car actually stuck to the ground better than my current C4. The most memorable experience was when all 5 lugs sheered off. I was in a school zone, coasting about 20 mph when it happened. The rear raised up about 4", then WHAM, rotor slammed to the ground, sparking and making some horrendous noises. I was able to slide it into a gas station parking lot before it came to a stop. Helplessly watching the tire roll by and into a 4 way stop intersection, hitting a Toyota truck was something that I will not ever forget! I had to remove and rebuild the entire rear end. Funny thing is that the body actually rode up the tire, but somehow had no cracking or paint damage?? I was lucky to be going 20 and not 70. I wish I still had it. TommyT - now this wasn't that long ago.... I bought it in 2000 and sold it in 2005(ish), the picture style just make it look like they are old. |

Nice car...loving the tire size combo..looks like an old muscle car.
Your story about the wheel coming off was crazy... I just saw it happen going 65mph on the highway....I was going the opposite direction in my Hummer when I saw a wheel/tire combo fly across in front of me and hit a car right on its hood ornament. The tire came off an older 70's Camaro...it a crazy site too see. |
