Vehicle Description

HIGHLIGHTS: -Original 350V8! -Factory A/C! -Power steering, power 4-wheel disc brakes! -Power windows and tilt column! This 1977 Chevrolet Corvette is a dynamite cruiser that offers a massive amount of bang for your buck, making it the perfect ticket to your next local cruise-in or scenic Sunday drive. Bathed in a striking metallic ""Candy Apple Red"" paint job that absolutely pops when the sunlight hits it, this C3 effortlessly captures the disco-era sports car magic. Under the hood is its numbers-matching 350ci V8 paired with a smooth TH350 3-speed automatic transmission, delivering nothing but that classic C3 driving experience. With its removable T-tops and a tasteful dual exhaust system, this Corvette is fully prepared to elevate your summer cruising to a whole new level! BODY OVERVIEW: The fiberglass body of this Stingray is beautifully straight, retaining the dramatic sweeping lines that make the rubber-bumper C3 generation so instantly recognizable. Adding a personalized touch of vintage flair, the rear features tasteful custom Stingray lettering painted cleanly across the tail panel just below the spoiler. Pop off the factory T-tops, and you have a sleek targa-style machine ready for fair-weather fun! The underside tells the story of a well-preserved, well-maintained classic that likely hasn't required a full frame-off restoration, presenting beautifully and showing an honest, clean undercarriage that matches the car's top-side appearance. PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: The metallic Candy Apple Red respray is in excellent shape, holding a deep, brilliant shine that guarantees you will never be invisible on the road. Paint imperfections have been kept to an absolute minimum, meaning you can show this car with pride without feeling the need to apologize for its looks. The minor cosmetic flaws are largely isolated to a few small paint chips on one of the front bumperettes and a missing antenna mast. It is a highly respectable finish that bridges the gap between a fragile show-car and a worry-free highway companion perfectly! INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: The cabin features a classic black vinyl interior that is in great condition, showing signs of being refinished in the past. It offers a comfortable, cockpit-like feel that comes equipped with highly desirable driver amenities such as: a tilt steering column to make sliding into the bucket seats a breeze, a factory integrated tachometer, an aftermarket AM/FM/cassette stereo paired with aftermarket speakers to handle your favorite retro cruising tracks (and yes, it gets a signal despite the missing antenna!). The dashboard, door panels, and center console all present very nicely, which really pushes this Corvette over the edge as far as affordable classics go! MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: Mechanically, this Corvette is an absolute sweetheart that rarely hesitates, waking up eagerly even during a cold startup. The numbers-matching 350ci V8 breathes through a dual exhaust system that gives it a wonderful sound without sacrificing its smooth idling characteristics (or rattling your teeth out!). The engine bay is clean but original, mirroring the tidy presentation found on the car's undercarriage. Driving duties are made effortless thanks to factory power steering, a TH350 automatic transmission, power 4-wheel disc brakes for confident stops, and a factory air conditioning system. WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR: You will love the combination of the jaw-dropping metallic paint and the classic rumble of the numbers-matching small block. It is a car built for instant gratification; it starts reliably, drives beautifully, and the T-tops turn a standard commute into an open-air event! At this reasonable price point, it allows you to enter the classic car hobby immediately in a vehicle that looks like it costs twice as much, all while enjoying the peace of mind that comes from a car that runs and drives like this. WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR: DOES IT NEED ANYTHING? While this Stingray is a turn-key runner, it does have a small checklist for the weekend tinkerer to address. The tires have plenty of tread and look good, but they are old and should be replaced before you plan any high-speed highway road trips. If you rely heavily on the car's automated features to do the work for you, the vacuum-operated headlight doors will test your patience, as they are currently refusing to open on command. Additionally, the heater and reverse lights are not operational. Last but not least, most would choose to source a replacement antenna to complete the exterior. WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR? This Corvette is tailor-made for the enthusiast who wants maximum curb appeal on a sensible budget. It is ideal for the buyer who wants a gorgeous, steady driver for local car shows today, but also welcomes the opportunity to do some light tinkering as needed. If you value a numbers-matching engine, tasteful paint, and turn-key readiness, this C3 beauty is your perfect match!
