Default FS - 1977 Orange with 200-4r trans, removable rear window, $6K Northern VA

My 1977 corvette has 83,xxx miles and has had a transmission swap for a 200-4r (overdrive) transmission. Now turns around 1900 RPMs at 70. I retained all OEM parts during enhancement projects so that it could be reverted back to OEM in the future. Rear window has been upgraded to a removable unit from a 68-72 vett which is a really nice upgrade. Rides on like new BFGoodrich tires with 1,500 miles (2 years old). There are a few nicks and bruises as one would expect with an old vet like this but still in nice condition - see pics - passenger rear has a crack/chip in the fiberglass. All gauges (temp,oil, volt, fuel) work but the clock, horn, and cruise do not. Also has vacuum and trans temperature gauges mounted. Speed and tac also work. I also have the assembly manual, repair manual, and color coded laminated wiring diagrams. Cost is $6,000. I will upload additional photos as time permits. Driven a lot in the spring/summer/fall, not so much in the winter. Clean title in my name. Located in zip code 20175. Thanks for looking.

Enhancements:
  • 200-4r with overdrive transmission swap (original TH350 included but slipped in reverse when cold)
  • aux transmission cooler
  • removable rear window swap (from a '69 if I recall, original window with defrost included)
  • 1982 clamshell seats in doeskin (original 77 leather seats in very good condition included)
  • t-top rear luggage rack and brackets - allows for outside rear storage of t-tops
  • sound/heat underlayment - installed under carpet
  • 134a refrigerant conversion
  • comes with canvas portable rain top (named a raincoat)
Car Options
  • automatic
  • air conditioning
  • leather seats
  • power windows
  • tilt/telescoping steering
  • cruise control (not working)
  • alloy wheels
I can provide live Facetime inspection (no one wants to waste time driving more than they have to to see a car) for serious buyers upon request/timing - possibly Skype but not as easy for me (an Apple user). The car is parked in my workshop that has a lift so under car inspection is also an option. Only provided for serious potential buyers. I've never tried this option but that I would appreciate it if I were purchasing so I thought I would give it a whirl.

I didn't get your reply. I am definitely interested in your car. I pay cash for cars that meet my expectations. Send me your phone number via private message and I will call you.

Actually I have a sale pending next weekend by an out of town person. I have been holding it for this individual for a few weeks and just fielding questions from other interested people. If you are interested I would be happy to set up a quick FaceTime session via phones so you can get an initial look at the car. Evenings this week. Thanks for asking.

Thanks to all who were waiting to see if the prospective purchaser purchased - which he did. So I no longer have the vet - new owner will do well in keeping the classic a classic. Cheers.
