The odometer on this vehicle has rolled over, as it is a 5-digit
odometer. It does not have 3,000 miles on it. 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:
Although it can be driven as-is, if you're looking for a car that
needs absolutely nothing, this Corvette isn't it. But if you don't
mind doing some tinkering right off the bat, it's hard to hate!
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! Contact
