There was no factory equipped Turbo-Charged Corvette in 77. There was a limited edition "Duntov" Turbo Charged Corvette offered in, I believe it was 1980. I don't think there were more than a handfull of them made. It had a real funky looking louvered domed hood. Almost looked like the Corvette Summer car from the front end.

Turbo emblems are easy to buy and put on cars, if you would post some pictures of the turbo install & car we might be able to tell you more. But as far as I know there was not a factory turbo vette in 77.
Also, this is the C4 section (1984-1996) you might get some better input from the C3 section.

Kind of a diservice to Duntov

I want to see this pics too! I use photobucket.com to share my pics on forums. When you upload to there, then drag the URL over here to the forum. You don't even have to use the picture or link buttons in the forum, they just work by themselves.
