Today is the 42nd anniversary of the purchase of my '69. I paid $3300 and had to put it in the garage for a week since I couldn't afford the insurance until my 25th birthday on the 18th. One long week!

Re: 42 years and counting
Best wishes Jeff. That nasty "cost of insurance" issue is what kept me from behind the wheel of an early C-3.Comment

Re: 42 years and counting
Congratulations. 42 years for me with my 65 as well. Mine was only $1,500 in 71. Mid years were cheaper then.Comment
