It is a late 1970s or early 80s modified C 3. I hope this answer is a little more helpful and informative than the previous response, which was correct and did answer your question.

Looks like a 78. What a waste of what was a decent car. Those wheels look like 28's or 30's.

I bet it's a 79. Not a fan of huge wheel and tire changes. This passes what would be considered tasteful and attractive to the majority of enthusiast. The fraise ," There are just no words", comes to mind.

Good eye. I usually pick up on things like that but was like so just focused on the wheels for some reason I don't know why.

Yes I also with you totally. I know a C5, C6, C7 but what year they are forget about it. I guess I could learn as I did with C2, C3, and C4's but it's more of a matter that I just don't care. Not sure I would even if I owned one.

they are called Donk cars, follow the links. it all depends on which site which version of that car shows up. probably is a facebook marketplace scam

the red one does have the correct reflections in it though. you can see the smokestack reflection in the paint.
