Okay here we go,this is kind of a offshoot,of the recent poll on the 1972 c3 vs the 02 c5.
Someone made mention of the different opinions that you would get comparing the 72 to an 82.
Lets go with this one. which one do you think is the better car. 1972 or 1981? (i made mention of the 81,not just because I own one,but both still have 4 barrel carbs.
My opionion. hmm thats hard I like all c3s.
1972 pros engine easier to work on,less emission stuff,better exhaust,
1981 pros,better paint job (BG models only) fastback retro styling,moot point.
Performance is simalar on both small blocks,so is gas mileage,handling and ride. The 81 has a slight technological edge.
Again,to me both are great machines and i would be proud to own any one of them 68-82. But that other post made me curious as to what you other guys and gals think. Ken
