Default 1975 Suspension

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone had color pictures of a 1975 suspension so I can make sure I paint mine correctly. Or if someone could point me in a direction to find them I'd appreciate it!

Thanks!

Original colors yes...obviously it doesn't have to be for a 75 specifically, the front end suspension was the same for most of the C3 era I believe.

Hi sj,
Although some of the front and rear suspension and running gear components were painted, others were plated with various finishes, and still others were left natural.

Eastwood and other suppliers have quite a wide assortment of paints that can be used to mimic the appearance of the various parts.

People generally will have to make a decision about being 'acurate' or being 'maintainable' on a car that's driven regularly.

Here are a few pictures of a restored car. (1971) Probably quite typical for your 75 too.
Regards,
Alan

Front suspension and steering gear.






Rear suspension and running gear.
