I know it may be blasphemy, but I'd like to see some pictures of C3's with hood scoops. It usually looks goofy to me when I see a scoop on top of a bulge, I'd like to see some that are tastefully done. My 72 is a small block base engine car and there isn't much room for the air cleaner with an aluminum intake.

there is another tread with a bunch of scoops, not blasphemy at all, but each person will have their personal opinion and taste, some will like the classic L-88 and others will call it too big, some will like a Stinger or Motion and others will say it ruins the lines, in the end the scoop must please the owner / builder no one else...
In about 35 years of puzting with vettes I have seen the L-88 used the most, then the Cowl and twin turbos, then the stingers and Motion types after that is the one offs and custom builds, so is most used a good gauge of popular?
I really dig the 67 bb scoop on top of c3 small block hoods, the shaker on easygears car is very sweet, and I really think Vince is onto something with his air intake, I also like jim and lukyns stacked one offs, I guess in some way or another I like all scoops.
And while some scoops might look a bit tall for the c3 if there is something under there needing that height
