It is time to take a trip down memory lane and remember where this car started and where it is now! If you are interested in it, the link for the CL ad will be below:

Up for sale is my 1977 C3 Corvette Coupe. The best thing about the car is that it is as close to a daily driver car as you can get. Fires right up, idles smooth, and does not run hot. Below I have divided up the car into sections so that you know as much about the car as I do. That way I don’t waste your time seeing a car that is misrepresented, and you don’t waste my time seeing something you thought was something else.
Body/Paint/Exterior: This Corvette started life as an original black car, which was the first time since 1970 that you could get a black corvette from the factory. The paint on this car does have some blemishes as all 40-year-old cars do, but does shine up well. I would consider the paint very good condition driver quality. All the glass on the car is in good shape, as well as the trim, mirrors, stainless, and badges throughout the car. The headlights do go up and down. Also, all the turn signals, marker lights, brake/tail lights, and reverse lights work like they are supposed to. The outside door handles and the mirror on the passenger side are all brand new.
Interior: The interior is one of my favorite parts of this car. There is nothing better looking than a bright red interior on a black car. The carpet is an older replacement but still cleans up nice. The seats have been replaced and dyed and look great. The dash, console, and door panels are all original 1977 parts and present well. The rear storage area has been totally rebuilt, with a new main frame and door frames. All the gauges in the car work other than the speedometer. The radio will need speakers hooked up but is a good head unit that has been tested. 1977 had a unique one year only interior which brings in the great three-piece style older dash with the updated new style center console and gauge stack. The tilt/telescoping steering column works like it is supposed to, the steering wheel is brand new, and the multi-function turn signal switch even works. The parking brake cover is new as well.
Engine/Transmission: The engine on this corvette makes the vette the great daily driver that it is. It has an edelbrock carburetor and intake with an electric choke. Starts up great, even when cold, and idles like it should. The engine has a fresh oil change, air filter, oil filter, and mostly new rubber hoses throughout. The HEI distributor ignition parts have been replaced with new. The radiator is a dewitts radiator with a dual spal fan setup, which works quite well. I have the same setup on my big block ’73 roadster and love it. The engine runs cool no matter where and how you are driving. The engine bay has been tidied up with new valve covers, air cleaner lid, MC lid, freeze plug etc. The transmission was rebuilt according to the previous owner, but he couldn’t provide any paper work to confirm how long ago. I can tell the torque converter has been painted, as well as the pan, so it has been out before. I would recommend a pan gasket because it does leak a little fluid.
Suspension/Brakes/Exhaust: the suspension on this car is in good shape. The car tracks straight down the road and stops straight when the brakes are applied. The brakes have a good amount of pad on all four corners, with rotors in good shape. The previous owner replaced all 4 brake hoses with upgraded stainless-steel hoses. The wheels are American racing aluminum wheels with decent tires. The rear suspension has adjustable strut rods so you can get that hot rod look this car deserves. The exhaust on this car starts with hooker headers with side pipes. They give you that awesome muscle car sound, but are not loud enough to deafen you while you drive.
If you are interested in this car, please take the time to look on RU-vid, where I have NINE videos on the car. On RU-vid, search “AutoZone Special: 1977 C3 Corvette”. In these videos, I show all the work that I have done on the car in the last 6 months. No other car for sale can show you that! Remember there are 9 videos, so you will have to watch them all to catch up on the current condition of the car.
I am asking $9,500 OBO for the corvette. I have a clean, clear, blue TX title in my name for the car. Only trades I would be interested in would be an American classic 1978 and down of greater value in similar mechanical condition. Offers will be considered in cash in person. Call/email/text if interested!
