I sent a question to him asking about the overhead cam. Interested to see how he pulled that off on what looks like a stock SBC configuration.

Is there a '77 in existence that's honestly worth nearly $30k?
Yes. In '77, exactly one Corvette was painted by the factory "Corvette Chartruese", a particularly heinous shade of green. I have not been able to find any information on it, but if it is in good condition it could certainly hit $30K for sheer rarity... if it still exists.

That engine looks pretty stock for 350 hp. Must be the rare 350 OHC conversion kit! :yesnod: :lol: It is amazing how little people know about their cars.

Clearly he has misinterpreted the looks he is getting.

He sees :thumbs: :cool:

Everyone else sees :eek: :U :confused:

NADA $28,900?

Must be a typo or maybe it's that special overhead cam. :p:
Nope, it is that Ralley Sport Option. On the NADA site, it lists a Ralley Sport Option and that adds 25% to the value of the car. I would really like to know that is included in that option to add 25% :confused: :confused:

The exterior paint, trim, and mechanics are not in need of reconditioning. The interior would be in excellent condition. Note: This value does not represent a "100 Point" or "# 1" vehicle *.

Go Figure ?

The Corvette Black Book lists no such option and I would think they know much more about Corvette RPO's than NADA. They could possibly be referring to FE7 Gymkhana suspension or maybe even D35 sport mirrors, but the latter would certainly not justify a 25% increase considering you can pick up a pair for about a hundred bucks. Aluminum wheels were also an option in '77, but this car is not so equipped. :confused:
