GREAT SOLID DRIVING, #S MATCH L82 350, 4 SPEED MAN, CORRECT COLORS, NICE IN/OUT!

Time to get your hands on a numbers-matching and complete Corvette for under $20K. This 1977 Chevrolet Corvette is a head-turner in its original color scheme, and the great running, four-speed manual means you'll love driving it everywhere.The C3 Corvette is one of the most recognizable shapes of all time. This one still fits together nicely, with decent gaps and flush-fitting headlight doors that are a big part of the look. 1977 was the last year of the traditional flying buttress rear, and the first year for the code-26 Light Blue. That gives this car an interesting combination, especially since most people have had these repainted a more traditional red or black. Instead, this one celebrates its original appearance with the correct factory paint color. There isn't a whole lot of chrome on these models, so they have a more contemporary appearance with the integrated bumpers. Still, like any good American classic there's room for brightwork accents on the original badging, side trim, optional luggage rack, and aluminum wheels.Inside you can tell plenty of option boxes were checked off on this one. It starts with Smoked Gray leather bucket seats that truly envelope the driver and passenger. They are complete with just the right amount of wear on the driver's seat that proves you actually drive your classic, but doesn't distract from the great color combo the leather provides. The seats demonstrate the underlying feeling that makes this Corvette special a well-respected and maintained classic. This is seen throughout the interior with its original door panels and center console looking great, and places like the carpeting being freshly replaced because that's the right kind of proper upkeep. Power windows, cruise control, and the AM/FM stereo are factory options still in place and working nicely. The leather on the three-spoke steering wheel is still grippy. Beyond that are the large speedo and tach as well as the full auxiliary gauge package just to the right. Overall the interior presents well and is the perfect complementing color to the paint, so you'll love taking out the T-tops and parking this one where everybody can see it.The engine is the optional (and numbers-matching) L82 350 cubic-inch V8. This higher compression motor was a must-have for the performance fans in 1977 because it offered 17% more horsepower than the standard Corvette V8.

So now you get to choose with the quick switch of a gears if the trip is going to be mild or wild. And no matter how you drive it, the Flowmaster exhaust will provide that great V8 soundtrack. Owing a well-sorted car like this is about being able to go out and take it for a drive on a whim, and that's why the power steering, four-wheel disc brakes, and the grip of BF Goodrich T/A tires are great features to have.The price is right; the colors are right; and the four-speed is irresistible.
