I agree that the price of the C3 seems high. I had a all original '77 about 5 or 8 years ago and I bought and sold it for less than 10K. The L48 was under-powered but the car handled well. Getting into a C3 is not hard, gravity is your friend, getting out was more difficult. I had a 170 pound Great Dane at the time and thought it would be fun to put him in the passenger seat and drive around with his head sticking out of the t-top but there was not enough room between the seat back and dashboard to get him in there.
