1978 silver anni, L82 numbers matching, oyster interior, do not think it is original paint but is an original anni car by the numbers, stolen for $6500 certified.

How’s the frame and birdcage?

 

[Lawrence]

Frame is very good, and what can be inspected of the bird cage seems good, I am third owner, last fella owned since 1996 and he was 74 years old. Parked in garage, on lift the underside looks very clean, some chips and scratches and shoes some wear interior, 100000km.

Sounds like a very decent find...

 

[Lawrence]

I think so, it will be enjoyed

 

[XFIRE82]

looks like a good find. I'd try compound the paint and it will probably look pretty darn good which will save a big hunk of change in making the car's appearance stand out. Good luck and have fun with the new toy.

 

[Black 03 Z06]

Great find, enjoy it.

 

[Jcpstrat]

You sure you're not going to be going to jail for stealing it? Sounds like a sweet deal! Enjoy

 

[Lawrence]

They gotta catch me first....lol

 

[Slecomte]

out for a rip last Sunday with a good buddy and his 2002 almost 25 years difference

 

[XFIRE82]

you have the nicer and better car.

 

[Lawrence]

thanks I am partial to the C3's, they are so sexy.
My wife drives a C4 and she loves it, so you gotta like what your driving, looks like you are still making up your mind...lol

 

[XFIRE82]

No secret I don't favor anything after the C3, my 82 is the ultimate, the 93 I just bought is just a car, and a poorly made one at that. If I listed all the things I see wrong with the design and all I would be banned from here !! I got a deal on it that no one in his right mind would of turned down, so I bought it sight unseen, paid the man and drove it home expecting a improvement over the C3, so far all I can say is that it has more room inside and the flip front gives easier access to the engine. Don't sell your C3 , the Shark body design is the most eye catching and recognisable car on the road.

 

[Lawrence]

agreed, I will given the C4 kudos for the improved handling

 

[XFIRE82]

I find the 82 handles better than the 93. The 93 is a slower ratio and requiers alot more effort to turn the wheel. The 82 is like a jack rabbit with his tail on fire, it just is very quick and gotta pay attention looking ahead cause it changes direction quick with the slightest turn of the wheel....something I'm still not use to as my old cars are not that fast a ratio. The 93 is just slower handling as it is rougher riding too.

 

[Lawrence]

you could be right, my son and I did a resto on a 74 a few years ago and sold shortly after the finish, he liked a firebird. I had forgotten how nice the C3 is to drive. had it out this weekend and my wife said how much she liked it even to ride in, I told her she can have it. OOOPS......

I'm not familiar with the steering setup on the C4's but C2's & C3's had two positions where the tie rods could fit into the steering knuckles. For C2 & C3 vehicles with Power Steering, it was mandatory the tie rods go into the inner steering knuckle holes, which would seem to provide a faster steering response than if they went into the outer holes of the steering knuckle. Don't know if that could explain some of the feeling for a faster steering response.
