For whatever reason, FB posts don't show up on the forum as originally pasted. The quoted link in my reply takes you there though. You have to screenshot from there to here.

As an aside, I'm not sure how much the Banshee really influenced C3 designs. The Mako II (XP-830) was unveiled in the same '64/'65 time frame and the C3 is much more closely aligned with it than the Banshee. The Opel GT appears more Banshee-like though and it was a 1968 introduction too.

Idk, I think they look pretty similar.
