For Sale: 1976 Chevrolet Corvette in Lutz, Florida

Time to get your hands on a very complete, distinct, and enhanced power Corvette for under $16K. This 1976 Chevrolet Corvette has a nice factory color theme and the kind of extra power on the numbers-matching V8 that will make you love driving it everywhere.


The C3 Corvette is one of the most recognizable shapes of all time. This one still fits together nicely, with decent gaps and flush-fitting headlight doors that are a big part of the look. The Orange Flame paint is the factory-correct color. It was only available for two years, and it's part of the vibrant colors that Chevy occasionally offered that seem to represent the 1970s nicely. This application is an older one, and so there will be some people who may even presume it's original (we won't tell if you won't.) While this is the era of the sleeker C3, and its color-matched bumpers, there still is room for brightwork. The rockers, Rally wheels, and optional luggage rack all look good against the distinct orange.


The tan interior also looks great against the orange exterior. So you know you'll love taking the T-tops out and being open to the world. There has been good care to the major components, including the carpet, seats, and dash. We especially like how the carpeting says Stingray, because after all, this was the final year the C3 actually carried the name. And there's even a touch of the upscale with the wood-like inserts of the door panels. There's also power windows, a tilt steering wheel, and an automatic transmission as all part of a comfortable driver's package.


Under the hood is proper V8 power. The 350 cubic-inch unit is the numbers-matching motor. But you can also see that there have been investments in enhancement. It has a full Edelbrock upgrade package with the polished air grabber, matching valve covers, a Performer RPM intake and aluminum heads, and topped with a four-barrel carburetor. Belts, wires, hoses, and the alternator also show the proper care. The enhanced V8 exhales with added power and authority as headers feed the dual exhaust. This is built for the open road, and so features like the fully independent suspension, three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and four-wheel disc brakes make it ideal.


Complete with owner's manual and spare components, this is the complete Stingray that offers plenty of performance and distinction in a package that's affordably price. So don't miss out, call today!
