Default My New Arrival - 2004 C4S Cab
For those of you who followed my saga with this 2004 C4S Cabriolet, all I can say is that it was worth every frustrating moment. Thanks to everyone who helped me with my search either by taking time out of their own life or just in messages/emails. This is truly an amazing community of enthusiasts and I hope that I can pay back the community in kind in the future!

For those of you haven't followed my saga...you're probably better off. lol

For everyone, here are some iPhone shots of the car that my wife took today while we were at a friend's house (and one from the other night after we picked her up). I spent a few hours getting her cleaned up this morning before we took the family out for a long drive. The weather was absolutely amazing -- 80 degrees and sunny.











First night at home before removing her hard top:


-Eric

P.S. Here is a shot of Mario Andretti in the car...and a picture of what he left behind.

Well worth the effort and patience! I love the Mario connection - he and his family are local to me and I have a Mario connection as well, but not as cool as this one! About 40 years ago the guys at the shop offered me the honor of magna fluxing the wheels and suspension parts on Mario's car, complete with getting to apply the USAC stamps of approval. They had a good laugh as I suffered in the booth - but I was young and dumb enough to still feel proud.

Eric,

Have you checked the engine to make sure it's not a corvette V8?
