Vehicle Description
1976 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe Corvette is one of America's most enduring values. Over half of the first 1953 models are still in existence. These and many later models are worth more, today, to their owners than their original purchase prices. Others never even appear on the market but are proudly passed down from father to son. So, you can look at the purchase of a '76 Corvette in many ways. As an immediate source of some of the most enjoyable driving you'll ever experience. As an automotive investment instead of a purchase. Or even as a valued legacy. Corvettemuseum.org For consignment, a 1976 Chevrolet Corvette coupe showing 31,075 miles, but the true miles are unknown. This car is in driver condition and offers the opportunity for restorative efforts to bring it up to the next level or two. Or simply drive the heck out of it! It does retain its numbers matching transmission. ***Due to modifications of the emissions control devices installed by the manufacturer, please check your local, state, and federal laws to determine if this vehicle is applicable for use on public highways in your area.*** Â Exterior Single stage Classic White paint covers the car which retains the legendary Corvette lines and the Coke bottle shape, essentially raised fenders connected by a straight center under a steeply raked windshield. Those fenders arch over 15-inch Chevrolet Rally wheels, the fronts giving way to the epic fender vent. Flying buttresses flank the rear window like tailfins while the nose of the car comes to a point, like a shark, and places the grille behind the bumperettes. Polished components include the side mirrors, window trim, and flush handles perches on the tops side of the doors. Imperfections range from numerous chips throughout to cracked edges, scratches, scuffs, cracked paint throughout, and areas of discoloration, touch up or general dullness. A mirror is missing and the rubber bumperettes are losing their black coating. The chin is damaged and shows exposed fiberglass and there are cracked pieces in other places. Interior Dark Firethorn is the name used for red interiors for this era Corvette and that's what we have, beginning on the door panels which include a woodgrain insert and show some loose vinyl in places, but otherwise clean. Both bucket seats show their age with some wear and discoloration and the center armrest has seen better days. There's a patina on the red steering wheel and the dash which has cracking on the horizontal surface. The center stack houses a series of gauges and a Kenwood AM/FM/Cassette player is squeezed into the space. The center console and shifter are consistent with the car's overall presentation and the red carpet below and in the cargo space is faded and discolored. Drivetrain Under the hood is a driver quality 350ci V8 with a 4-barrel carburetor. It's mated to the numbers matching TH350 3-speed automatic transmission that routes power to the rear axle with 3.08 gears and Positraction Undercarriage We have driver quality conditions underneath as well with a good amount of patina and surface rust and some gunk build up. Power disc brakes are found at all four corners and the dual exhaust flows through stock style mufflers before giving way to short tailpipes. There's pitted surface rust on the exhaust and the mufflers and there is no catalytic converter on board. Suspension includes coil springs up front and Corvette's complex system of a frame mounted differential, tubular axle drive shafts, transverse strut rods, torque control arms, and transverse leaf springs in back. Drive-Ability The Vette scoots onto the test loop with some old gas in the tank, according to our consignor, and it shows with repeated stalling and a slightly rough idle. It provides good handling and decent braking. We note some things that will need attention including inoperable items such as the horn, heater blower, tachometer, radio, AC, and driver's power window. You pr |
