The Atlanta Show room is offering this 1976 Chevrolet Corvette. The
1976 Corvette included a modified hood that changed the air
induction system to pull air from further forward over the
radiator. This eliminated a howl that could be heard in the cabin
due to the old intake placement next to the front window. "Astro
Ventilation" was removed and the ducts on the rear deck were
removed along with it. Aluminum wheels were finally available and
were installed on 6,253 Vette's. A partial steel underbody replaced
some fiberglass to improve rigidity and shield the cabin from
engine and exhaust heat. The new Turbo Hydra-Matic 350 Automatic
transmission available with the base V-8 was lighter and also
improved shifting at wide-open throttle. The Turbo Hydra-Matic 400
was kept with the optional V-8 and the torque converter was
updated. The convertible option was no longer available. A new
badge on the tail of the car was all one piece instead of the
separate letters used before. The new "sport" steering wheel was
smaller than previous wheels, is was also the same wheel used on
the Chevrolet Vega this year. This L48 V8 comes optioned with:
AC,AM/FM, Cassette, T-Tops, Power Brakes, power steering, power
windows, power locks, leather, alloy wheels, power locks, and a
tilt wheel. To view the car in greater detail, including 100+ HD
