My new 1976 corvette
I love her so much. Just in time for summer. She's definitely staying inside when its raining.
454 built big block 4 speed. Got it for about $12k. I thought it was a pretty good deal.
Drove it 150 miles home from Oregon to Seattle and my face now hurts from grinning. Had some idiots in a pickup want to race me, but i just ignored them haha.
Btw this is my absolute favorite color and I just cant believe there was a C3 stingray on craigslist that was 4 speed, sunset yellow, and a big block. I still can't believe it.
What ya'll think?

Awesome find!!!
I know you probably don't care because it's a beautiful, modded car and i'm sure you aren't a stickler for the small stuff, (and most importantly) I'm not trying to pick your car apart. Just trying to give a little friendly info....the emblems are 77/79 and it has the 78 pace car front spoiler.

My only nit picky rap about this car is it doesn't have the corvette rally wheels. I'm not pulling my hair over that though because when the tires are ready to go i'm just going replace the rims too. Sell the current ones for a couple bucks.

I knew something was different about it lol but i thought eh w/e looks great anyways. Thanks for telling me where that front spoiler came from i actually love it. Gives it a really aggressive modern look yet remain completely classic.

I do have an idea for a custom rear bumper though, but not the know-how or the money (yet) to be able to do it. Thinking of combining the 80-82 rear bumper with my 77 rear bumper because I like the bumperettes (I'm in a minority on that one), but I also like the molded spoiler. Also, I am planning on buying the rectangular muffler tips from a 98-02 Camaro Z28 because I think they would look pretty sweet in the areas between the bumperettes and license plate.
I'm not very nit-picky about originality.
