Vehicle Description
We don't have to mention that this 1976 Chevrolet Corvette Pro
Street has been given big investments over the factory performance
setup. After all, that big air scoop with a supercharger underneath
instantly commands all your attention. But while you already know
this is a street-eating powerful machine, the total investment in
this coupe shows there was plenty of extra thought and comfort that
make it all-around awesome.
We'll get to the details on the big power motor in a moment, but
first, it's worth mentioning the quality that surrounds it. The
Bright Yellow is the factory color, but this one goes for a touch
of added vibrancy while still staying in the Corvette family with
the modern Velocity Yellow. It's part of a comprehensive
restoration/transformation that's so fresh that there's less than
50 miles on the full build. It has the kind of bold style that
tells you this car has the kind of quality that's happy to attract
extra attention. The deep gloss is ready to show off this
Stingray's distinct lines... and there's a ton of them. You have
the factory pieces, like the sharply pointed front end and the
crisp fender tops. This combines with plenty of extra flare in the
fenders and an extra-large full-width rear spoiler. These later
years of the C3 had a cleaner design free from ornamentation, but
there's still some brightwork in this one. It's used to draw
attention to places like that awesome set of Billet Specialties
racing wheels with the extra-wide set in the rear. And these wheels
even have a hint of black to go with the motor.
The color-matched T-tops look quite stylish when in place, and it
only gets better when you open this car up to the world. The full
black interior has a nice performance look that includes a fresh
look and feel to the carpeting, dash, and door panels. The seats
are particularly nice because they have modern comfort. They're
borrowed from a C6 Corvette, and the yellow contrast stitching to
the supple black leathery is a stylish luxury touch. You also have
some worthwhile features like an AM/FM/CD stereo with USB input,
power windows, a tilt steering column, and provisions for R134a air
conditioning (it will need servicing/repair before blowing cold
again.) But it's not exactly the luxury that first catches your
eye. This announces it's a true performance machine with the
six-point safety cage with handy swing-out door bars. And the TCI
Outlaw shifter, RaceQuip five-point harnesses, and aggressive red
glow of the Dakota Digital VHX gauge package are all part of a
competition-worthy machine.
The power this one makes is so big that the hood can't contain it.
There was a ton invested in giving this motor a show-worthy
polished presentation, because after all, you know everyone's got
to ask you to lift the custom hood everywhere you park this
Stingray. And the glossy black components look terrific against the
exterior yellow. The awesome power package starts with dual ADE
Performance four-barrel carburetors that feeds the BDS 871 blower.
It sits on top of a 434 cubic-inch small block, and that means big
block displacement in a small block weight. The motor is a
professional build by Nelson Competition. So this V8 has been
enhanced and fortified with Diamond pistons, a Callies Magnum
crank, Oliver rods, a Crowder camshaft, Crowder lifters, and AFR
245cc heads. This also has the right supporting components, like an
MSD ignition, Powermaster starter, AGM battery, and aluminum
radiator with electric fans. Kooks headers feed a custom dual
exhaust with Borla mufflers. So this big power coupe knows how to
announce its muscle. And when you have this much power in an
American muscle machine, you expect it to be a wild child. But
since this is a Corvette, you get great features like the fully
independent suspension, but now it's an upgraded hardy Van Steel
adjustable setup. There's also a stout TH400 three-speed automatic
transmission built for big power and a stall. And you have Wilwood
four-wheel power disc brakes, power steering, and wide Mickey
Thompson tires to bring the power to the pavement. So this is one
high horsepower classic that's easy to control.
This is the one with speed and stance. So when a build is this
fresh, unique, and mean, you know you need to hurry to grab this
deal. Call today!!!
