Vehicle Description
Time to get your hands on a numbers-matching and four-speed
Stingray for a value price. This 1976 Chevrolet Corvette is a
head-turner in its original color theme, and it's a loaded classic
stunner that loves to be a quality classic.
The trim tag tells us this was born a Silver Metallic and these
cars always look both sophisticated and speedy in this hue. It was
even refreshed later in life to continue to have an excellent depth
and a good gloss in the sunshine. The odometer is believed to
reflect the full actual mileage, and that tells you this coupe has
not spent the last 45 years doing the daily grind. But the way
headlights fit flush and the doors close with confidence are the
real telltale ways you understand the care this C3 has been given.
And while these later cars have the urethane bumpers for a more
streamlined style, the Rally wheels, rocker trim, and optional
luggage rack give this true American the right amount of
brightwork.
You can tell plenty of option boxes were checked off when you look
inside. It starts with Smoked Gray leather bucket seats that truly
envelope the driver and passenger. They are complete with just the
right amount of tasteful wear for the leather, and so it doesn't
distract from the great color combo the leather provides. In fact,
the seats demonstrate the underlying feeling that makes this
Corvette special: it's a well-respected and maintained classic.
Even details like the courtesy lights and key busser are working.
You also have power windows, a tilt steering column, an upgraded
AM/FM digital tuner, and provisions for factory air conditioning
(it will need servicing and/or components to blow cold again.)
Overall the interior presents well and is the perfect complementing
color to the paint, so you'll love taking out the T-tops and
parking this one where everybody can see it.
Under the hood is the numbers-matching 350 cubic-inch V8 with a
four-barrel carb on top. The motor fires up eagerly to tell you
it's well-maintained (we even have the records to prove it.) Plus,
you have a year-correct (possibly original?) four-speed manual
transmission. We're told it's an M21 unit, and the close-ratio ones
are more fun and they were one of the rarest options for 1976. So
now you get to choose with the quick switch of gears if the trip is
going to be mild or wild. And no matter how you drive it, the dual
exhaust and Magnaflow mufflers will provide that great V8
soundtrack. And the fully independent suspension, power steering,
and four-wheel power disc brakes make for a fun classic driver.
The price is right; the colors are right; and the four-speed is
irresistible. This is the affordable Corvette experience you've
been searching for. Call today!!!
