2022 C3 of the Year Finalist - Modified
Yeah, I go back and forth about painting it a different color, but my dad bought it brand new and handed it down to me so everyone we know identifies us in the car - wouldn't be the same if we painted it. Have only seen one other one locally the same color and its been awhile since I have seen it.... but I did think they offered it in '76 too but not 100% sure about that.

No.....76 was a darker orange, called Flame Orange.....the Code 66 is one year only....77 and is simply called Orange.. I also had those YJ8 aluminum wheels on mine for awhile, I really like them. But,.....the 17 wheels allowed me to go with modern, soft rubber. Made a HUGE difference in handling.
