Default 1977 value please

Hi all
I’m usually hanging in the C-2 area but I have an opportunity to bid (in a privet auction) on a 1977 vette with 4500 original miles. I’ve been told it’s in good to very good condition. My information is not real good meaning I’m not sure if it a convertible or the engine size. So if you don’t mind please fill in the blanks on the value
Convertible/big block
Convertible/small block
T-top/Big Block
T-top/small block
Thanks a bunch guys

77 only came in t-top with a small block either L-48 or L-82. Horsepower would be like 180 (L48) to 220(L82) if I remember correctly.

Your only choice for '77 is T-top and small block--either a L-48 or a L-82. I saw a '77 with that few miles sell for $25k recently.

I wouldn't think a 77 would go for more than $20k. If it's a private auction he can probably get it for $15k, if it's mint.

If it truly has only 4500 original miles the gas and break pedal would have no wear, the seats would look like new, if stored inside the paint would be like new. The engine bay should lood excelent, the tires should be original and have no visible wear. Also if you are mechanialy inclined check the compression on the engine or bring it to a mechanic. The odometer may have rolled around and it actually has 104500. If you can get the titles from each owner from the DMV it will have milage on each exchange. A 28 year old car with 4500 original miles is hard to believe, so check it out well. Look at the steering wheel there should be no wear. It should have original radio, and other options it came with. Be careful and good luck, that is a great find if it is true!!!
