Default My "new" 77
I appreciate very much everyone's help over the last couple of months as I've been looking for my dream C3. I found it last week and it now sits comfortably in my garage. Took it on a 250 mile round trip this weekend and it just purred on the interstate and on the back roads. Lots of little things to do, fix the side mirror, weather-proof the t-tops, etc. But so far so good!

1977 350 4-speed:

A '77 4-speed, good stuff! Any pics of the engine bay and interior? Looks clean and ready to go from the outside. Have fun and congrats on your new purchase.

Dang that's a good looking corvette.

Looks like somebody had taken good care of it over the years.


Enjoy that beauty

Here are some interior pics and an engine pic. The last owner said the car was running rough when he got it, he replaced the carb with this one (but gave me the old, original one, all boxed up).

Congrats! '77's with a 4-speed are pretty cool. Of course, I might be a little biased. Enjoy the car.
