[QUOTE="taylorsk8, post: 8151, member: 33"] I have a 73. I paid 6500 and put 2200 into it imediatly to make sure it was safe to drive. The body is really rough, but the frame is solid. I think I got a great deal. You'll want to look behind the kick panels for rust if the seller will let you. Also like Riley pointed out the #3 body mount right in front of the rear wheels (covered by a plastic rectangle). If those two spots are rust free chances are the birdcage is still solid (although it can still be bad). I have a table of values with additions and omitions for different options for C3's at home. I will post it when I get done work. If I remember correctly it is from 2 years ago so it won't be 100% accurate but it will still be close. Many times selling prices boil down to how bad you want that specific car. I have seen cars sell for way more than they are worth because they were exactly (all the options) what the buyer wanted. And condition obviously makes a huge difference. If the car is original (engine and all) you will pay more. If you are not planning on leaving it original then look for one that is already not original and you can probably get a better deal. Some people are anal about original and numbers matching (even though there are different opinions on what numbers matching means so watch out for that too). It all depends what YOU want. Give you more info when I get home T [/QUOTE]
