    C6 will be tight. 70 trans tunnels are narrow, will not fit without cutting. Why not a C4? No clue where to get the tank.

    :Welcome: from a fellow 1970 owner in Northeast Pennsylvania

    They do not reproduce 70 bolt in gas tanks so you have to get a good used one or a used one and have it checked and coated - not cheap anymore to find used in good shape - I have one but I'm still on the fence as to getting rid of it yet :)

    In case I decide to sell my tank, I don't want to get into the shipping of it - would have to be a road trip to Mountain Top - 15 miles south of Wilkes-Barre :)

    I can't help you with hood or fenders - only have what I need but I might have some other stuff around like most of the parts to do a front disc Granada brake conversion:)

    A C6 will never fit in that small tunnel.
