I have a 77 and love it, but it isn't one of the most sought after c3's and performance is average at best, especially if it is an L48.
As for the price, unless it is almost perfect in every way, $10,000 is way too much for a 77 in my opinion. Again, it depends on the condition, but for $10,000 it should have great paint, no technical issues and a restored interior.
The L82 option and manual transmission would increase the value too.
Hope this helps and good luck. If you buy it, there is another forum specifically for 77 vettes that you might enjoy.

I bought my ' 77 about 5 yrs ago. Was in real good condition, with only some spider webs in paint. You had to look close for the few webs to see them. Only thing not original was the Radio. I paid $8400.
