Vehicle Detail
I am offering a gorgeous 1977 Corvette in outstanding overall condition. I am a serious specialty car enthusiast/ collector/ restorer. I bought this beauty for my wife in 2004 as her "toy". She absolutely loves this car, especially the color, Burgundy, "her favorite". However , her career leaves her no time to really drive and enjoy this beauty. So we have made the decision to let someone else enjoy it. Also, we have to many toys and really need to scale down. Just not enough time and space. 1977 was the last year of the true "StingRay" , flat back window body style. This is one of the nicest vettes of this vintage that you will find! In the time of our ownership I have replaced or rebuilt literally everything. I am a bug about having things fresh and correct. This is a super clean accident free car with all original body panels and clean rust free frame. When i got it it still wore its original paint which was showing its age. In 2006 it was completely stripped,all panels perfectly aligned and refinished in correct Dark Red PPG base/clear urethane. This car is arrow straight with perfect seams and panel alignment. All jambs were refinished as well. The paint is glass smooth with awesome depth. All weatherstripping was replaced as well. This Vette is a real attention getter, especially with Corvette enthusiasts! The light buckskin leather interior is immaculate.The seats were professionally recovered with new correct leather skins from Ecklers. The rest of the interior is very clean showing minimal wear. The door panels are original and in good shape except for some wear in the corners wear they typically hit the jambs when closed. this is quite common on C-3's. The leather wrap on the steering wheel has some typical age cracking , not split. The dash is perfect and everything works as it should. the rear storage area is very clean. I also bought new felt lined storage bags for the T-tops in the correct buckskin color. This vette is equipped as follows; L-48 350 cu.in. 4 barrel engine (8000 miles on complete rebuild) turbo 350 automatic trans. (also rebuilt with engine, shifts perfect!), 3.55 positraction rear, Air conditioning (New compressor and converted to R-134 this summer), Power steering, power 4 wheel disc brakes, power windows, tilt-telescopic steering wheel, cruise-control (works intermittently), Panasonic AM/FM/CD stereo professionally installed with small amp hidden in rear compartment and 4 premium speakers in factory locations, 15"X8" original rally wheels with rings and centers, 4 new Firestone Firehawk 255/60/R15 Radials. New and rebuilt; Original matching # L-48 350 rebuilt to stock spec. with less than 8000 miles. Block was thermocleaned and honed,crank cleaned and polished, measured all standard, rods re-sized, new sealed power standard bore pistons, sealed power rings and bearings, Melling oil pump, new stock replacement cam ,lifters timimg chainand gears, heads cleaned, surfaced, valve job, new springs and valve guides, Fel-pro gaskets. i added an Edelbrock Performer intake (I have stock original), Quadra-Jet carb rebuilt, LT-1 valve covers and air cleaner were also added.

I obtained a specific set of alignment specs on line that make this car track perfect and handle like a slot car! Brand new (not rebuilt) Delphi A/C compressor and system con verted to R-134 this summer. Headlighs open 7 close smoothly and in sync. No "lazy-eye"! This is one sweet driving Corvette. I bought this car with 97000 miles and all work has been done within the last 8000 miles. If you are looking for an outstanding C-3 StingRay body Corvette that is trouble free and ready to drive ,enjoy and show off here it is! This is literallly a 36 year old new car. And just in time for Christmas! What a great gift for that special someone! I have a clear New York State title in hand to transfer to the new owner.
