That's Red!
86: Very nice/clean car. Makes me rethink 18s on the front? I like your rear wing. Where and how much and do you think it does anything?
Could you or someone photoshop that wing on a 74? I was going to use the PC kit, but a wing could be better? Or NOT! lol

(but i guess it's the same thing as WALL-E.)Also time for me to tear it down again for the winter rebuild. Going to get a new paint job and some minor body work done, new interior from carpet up (minus the seats) and hopefully get to put in shark-bite coil over rear suspension, and steeriods.

The red is a color they used on the C4's for a while, if I remember correctly "bright red" is the color name - Sikkens paint, shot in '92. I've seen it on the C4's and always thought it looked kinda plain & dull, the curves of the C3 really bring out the best in the color.
I like 18's in the front over 17's because it's a little easier to fill the fenders. Personally, I think 18's are a good compromise in getting some bigger wheels & tires under the car without getting tires that are too short and without having the huge wheel look. I'm considering going with larger (i.e. taller) tires when replacement time comes, too - probably 255/45's on the front and either 285/40's or 275/45's on the rear.
That rear wing was purchased from Ecklers back around 1989 or so, not sure if they still sell it. I've always thought the rubber bumper cars up to '79 looked a little funny with the sloping rear. I like the pace car tail that kicks up, but everyone has them. I liked this wing because it wasn't too much, but fixed the sloping rear problem.
