Default 1977 Corvette desirability

So there is a 1977 4-spd red corvette with side-pipes, L82 hood with a 350 engine with a holley 4bbl carb at 50,000 miles with a pretty pristine interior, It is not running currently because the distributor and the front accessories are off the engine. I'm thinking of buying it and restoring the car and reselling it, however I am worried it won't sell because I have heard that 1977 corvettes are not very desirable at all and they are not very collectible, and I have to resell the car once I restore because I am trying to get some money. Do any of you guys know if that car would sell and if people would want to buy it? If yes, is there a specific car site I should list it on? (I am also buying the car because I will have some time to enjoy it before I have to sell it and I love manual C3 corvettes)
