Classic Cars is pleased to present this 1976 Chevrolet Corvette
Coupe, built on July 20, 1976 in General Motors' St. Louis,
Missouri factory. This is a very desirable Corvette that is
optioned out the way you want to find them with white on black
color combo, 4-speed manual transmission, air conditioning, power
steering and brakes! This is an overall original survivor Corvette
that still retains its numbers matching L48 350ci V8. Dressed in
Classic White (code 10), this car's paint and trim are in very
original good order. The windows are in overall great shape but
there are light blemishes on the windshield from past wiper blades.
The car's lights, including its signature round taillamps are look
good while the car's bodywork is straight and solid. This example
features T-top roof panels, which were a very popular option. The
car's bumpers fit well to the body, the engine bay and the
undercarriage are very tidy. Under the forward-hinged hood is the
numbers matching L48 version of Chevrolet's 350 CID small-block V-8
engine. Backing up the motor is a Muncie M20 wide-ratio four-speed
manual transmission and a 3.36:1 rear end. Driver convenience
features include air-conditioning, power steering, power four-wheel
disc brakes and power windows. This Corvette rolls on Goodyear
Eagle GAs, size P225/70R15 at all four corners. Each one surrounds
a Rally, or "turbine" style steel wheel. The tires and wheels are
in overall good condition. Inside, the black interior (code 192) in
in overall good condition. The bucket seats look great, as does the
newer matching carpet while the headliner and stock four-spoke
steering wheel are in original condition. The inner door panels
with their woodgrain inserts are in good order and the instrument
panel and center stack come with a full array of gauges. Even the
"Door Ajar" warning light still works. The shifter is in good order
and a Retro Sound AM/FM stereo with auxiliary capability completes
the interior. For 1976, Corvettes featured steel floor panels
shielding the catalytic converter exhaust. These steel floor panels
weighed less than the previous�fiberglass�ones and reduced interior
noise levels. To further reduce cabin noise levels, cowl induction
was dropped in favor of the air cleaner ducted over the radiator,
picking up outside air from the front of the car, thus reducing
wind turbulence at the base of the windshield. The hood was carried
over, with its cowl vent grille and induction system opening
becoming non-functional. The optional cast aluminum wheels were
finally made available, which reduced the unsprung weight of the
car by 32�pounds. Nearly 15 percent of the cars were ordered with
these new wheels. A standard steel rim spare was used. This was the
last year for optional white striped tires, as 86 percent of the
cars were being delivered with the optional white lettered tires. A
new rear nameplate for the rear bumper cover was introduced,
eliminating the individual "Corvette" letters used since 1968. An
unwelcome change was the "Vega GT" four-spoke steering wheel,
although its smaller diameter did provide extra room and eased
entry/exit. The steering wheel, color-keyed to the interior,
continued on 1977 through 1979 models, limited to non-tilt wheel
cars only. GM's "Freedom" battery, a new sealed and
maintenance-free unit, was now installed in all cars.�The rear
window defroster option was changed from the forced-air type of
previous years to the new "Electro-Clear" defogger, an in-glass
heated element type.�Even without a convertible model, the Corvette
still set new sales records. Competition to this Corvette in 1976
included the Avanti II, Jaguar's XJ-S and Nissan's 260Z and 280Z
models. If you want a genuine piece of Rolling Americana from the
year when the Bi-centennial was Big News, there's no better place
to start than with a Chevrolet Corvette, America's Only Sports Car.
