This looks like a pretty nice '77 maybe a little pricey though

Does look nice but I kinda doubt the 8,000 miles though. More like 108,000 looking at the engine compartment.

Think of it this way.....In the world where we live w/ Barrett Jackson making everyone think that their old car is worth hundreds of thousands, a nice driver Vette like that for under 15K seems like a deal to me.

It doesnt look that correct or super clean to me, too much chrome under the hood, pipes are not correct for that year, radio is incorrect & who knows what else you cant see.
No mention of matching numbers or not or if that orange is the orignal color. Rare was yellow with only 71 or bright yellow with 1942 built. He says its / desireable, 4012 were painted orange that year & the 1977 was one of the most mass produced years of all with 49,213 built only surpassed by 1979's.

Pricey to say the least.............$7500 is more like reality

The 1979 model year for Corvettes was the highest volume production year,
53807 built.

1977 Corvette special ordered, never dealer prepped and still resides on the paperwork from General Motors to the selling dealer.

I would keep looking too...price is getting a little high IMO.

And on a secondary note...whoever thought painting a car orange and sticking brown interior in it would look good? (No offense to anyone who might have that color combo...just looks like a rotting orange to me).

I reported the listing to ebay as it uses white text on a white background. (spamming - hidden text)
The 1969 sidepipes look ok on it, and I love pumpkin vettes but this looks like a 7-8k car to me
