bump for a great info. thread
Gwhite ,
This 1977 C3 (760 0555) caught my eye in the For Sale section. Claimed to be a m473 optioned example......with factory optioned AC ......I noticed the 2nd grill tail.
Can you verify the options (M473 & AC ...including rear wiper) , and think it's the original tail ?
I'm very curious , because I know another German delivery 77 C3 with factory AC (also with M473 thought to be orig. to car) . And it has a 2nd grill fiberglass tail that the owner thinks is the original fitted tail.
That is why I have suspected a 1977 C3 optioned with M473 (AND factory AC) can come originally fitted with the small 2nd grill glass whaletail (except possibly examples facvtory exported to the UK for some reason....but i'm not sure about that as I do not understand why they ...UK versions... got bolt-on poly units ....unless the UK 'Sport' option cars were all converted to 'sport' after landing in the UK by the hands of AFN employees).
** by the way ......Happy New Year !
PS - I don't think the front fenders are orig. , as side indicators were not as early as 1977MY as I recall. The ad mentions some front repair.
