Go here https://www.gmheritagecenter.com/index.html and see if you can order a copy of the original dealer invoice for your 77. If they have your VIN in their records, the invoice will show all the options ordered for the car and the original dealer.

Nope. The console sticker began with C4s.

Easy Mike referred you to the Heritage center for the possibility of an invoice

. Here is 111 page PDF for you to keep about the 1977 corvette. Loads of information.

https://www.gmheritagecenter.com/doc...t-Corvette.pdf

Also you could look up your vin on the c3 registry here to see if it is listed. Might have a previous owner. Unfortunately this web site has been down for a couple of days but worth trying later.

Damn, it would be great if the C3's had come with these! Don't know why they didn't as other Chevrolet platforms of the era had them.

A console lid or a glove box in a 77. WAY to Funny!
