C3's By The Numbers !

[nascar03]

I thought I'd start a thread to capture dimensions of C3 Corvettes for comparison purposes.
Mine is a 1975 Coupe, 4 speed, F41 springs, 255/45ZR17 BFG G-Force KDW tires.
.

Here are some ground clearances on my ride:
3 3/8". Header collector flange
4 1/8". Bell housing flange
4". Front edge of tire bucket.
2 11/16" under exhaust pipes at rear spring
5 1/2". Frame just ahead of rear wheel
26 1/2". Front fender lip.
27 1/8". Rear fender lip
47 1/4". Top of roof.
16 3/8". Tip of front nose.

Maybe others can cut-n-paste their C3 dimensions.

Beautiful shine on that car Graham. Is that the original paint or has it been redone? By the way I am going to try to visit you this year when you are free etc. etc.
