Both the Danbury Mint and Franklin Mint have 3 or 4 C3's in 1/24 scale.

MPC made a '77 in 1/20 scale, all plastic kit. Kit is very good for display and is a good size. The only promo I ever saw was an AMT, silver in color inside and out, not very prototypical, 1/25 scale. The MPC kit is the way to go if you want to match your car exactly.

If you have an L82, you'll probably need to do some kit-bashing or modifying as the air cleaner assembly is a single snorkel unit and the valve covers (IIRC) are either plain steel factory units or 60s era finned units. Sometimes you can find exactly what you need from the 100s of resin casters out there...
Expect to pay around $45.00 for a complete, unbuilt '77.

IMHO the MPC kits have much better chassis detail. Among other things, they feature poseable front wheels & separate working half shafts. The MPC 77s were also the last C3s to have the best version of the YJ8(?) alloy wheel. (Open slots vs the solid turd they created for the 78-82s.)
