i always thought white was for rental cars only but the c3 corvette proved me wrong.all the cars are decent and priced close but if you do nothing else,and some members will agree with me on this,do not under any circumstance buy a car that vibrates, anywhere,you will spend many many hours trying to correct it. and of course there is the matter of the tire born on date.best of luck in the search.

Looks like a nice clean car pending frame examination, etc . . I've never really liked the "Vega" style steering wheel on the 76's, but it's hardly a deal breaker one way or the other.

Do your homework - - looks pretty good but hard to imagine $14k invested - - maybe with the original cost of the car . . .?

I actually really like that color combo. When I saw the light tan interior my first impression was, "Wow, that's nice!" Dark interiors make for a dark, cavernous cabin, light interiors are ...well, light and airy. If you like that sort of thing, this is the car for you. You don't see too many that color combo. One thing I like about my DD is a light tan leather interior with sunroof. It's just so nice and pleasant to drive. Exterior colors are subjective and everyone has their favorite. The trends change over time. White used to be the most common Corvette color, but you don't see that many of them these days. I actually think white looks great on corvettes. As a bonus, it's cheap to buy and cheap to spray, easy to keep clean. I painted my vette silver but I considered all the colors, red was a close second. I stayed with black interior but I had considered seriously going with a tan interior. The rest of this car looks like it was well cared for. You won't be buying a project car, at least.
