The Dirty Penny's Evil Older Brother....
Just wrapping up my 1976 Carrera 3.0 project....this is a 64k kilometer, mostly original paint, never Federalized beast. 46 PMO's, 11.5:1 Mahle pistons and RSR cams. Taking her to Sebring next week for a little shake down....

Daaaaaang! That's one sweet C3! It just has that tough look like a street fighter.

15x7 front and 9 in the rear. 205 front and 235 rear. No spacers, the Minilites have a an offset that puts the width outside. This car, even more so then the Dirty Penny, needs the extra rubber in the rear.

Nope. This C3 was with the same owner from 1984 (when imported) until I found it last November. Stored since 2000. Never wrecked, no rust, and straight as an arrow. Had to have it when I saw the tartan interior.

They may fit over 930 brakes. This car has a set of Bremtech brakes and we had to do a little machining to the fronts for clearance.
