- C3-coupe/MercedesBenz-540K replica! Racing-SB-V8!
-Not at all 'half baked' here's a nifty '71-C3 that i saw somewhere, although likely has a bit of cowl-shake (really rigid latching would hold it to a minimum), i think it is 'soooo totally kooool' -that just wanted to share it; -the Clam-shell is possibly an available retrofit-kit adaptable- '68-'82, -plus SidewinderExh. would be righteous!
Unfortunately, way the front-clip on my Berlina-C3 is configured, i cannot adopt a Clam-shell opening, -3rd-pic shows my hood splits-open at the center, plus sidepanels & sidemounts quickly detach(am preparing to sanitize the eng.-bay), -quite accessable to work on engine, yet not near as open as shown C3/Clam-shell; well long as i'm at it, the 4th-pix shows my Berlina/MB-540R at present (removed the full-whitewalls, may go full maroon-lacquer, --as don't want a parade-car look!), while 5th-pix shows my adapted 1930's "17/banjo-wheel(removed PS & PB for more '30's feel, but retained T&T-column, note RC-mirrors.). ---(left-click pix to enlarge 83kb)... ~Bob vH
ps: -this '80/Berlina-C3 has only 15k-miles on it (pampered w/Mobile1 oil, still factory-sealed!); -am going to pull and install a custom LongRod-400cid/sb (short-cranked to only 352cid) w/Tremec-5spd., so willing to sell the complete barely broken-in oem/Eng&trans for $6k+ship.! (350-TurboHydro-auto.,oem/aircleaner,oem/PS,-etc.)
