Vehicle Description
For consignment, a 1976 Chevrolet Corvette coupe showing 30,447 miles, but the true miles are unknown. This car retains its numbers matching drivetrain and presents in its original color.
Exterior
Deep end of the pool, very nice Bright Blue Metallic coats pristine fiberglass and neoprene on this garage kept curvaceous example. A few areas of "road rash" are noted on the lowers of the body along with some notable chips on the pointed neoprene nose. The iconic Stingray "gills" vent cool air into and out of the engine bay from directly behind the front wheel wells. Brightwork is in good condition and shows up on the door handles, front glass frame, side view mirrors and rockers. The long hood leads the way and it sports hidden headlights in front as well as a rear vented scoop while the roof panels are removable and are in body matching blue. You gotta love the flying buttress B pillars framing the near vertical rear glass and we also note the rounded rear look with the circular tail lights are iconic in their design. 15-inch polished and slotted wheels are wrapped by older blackwall 215/75R15's all around.
Interior
Some smoke gray vinyl and wood appliqué, along with minimal chrome trimmings cover the door panels. Sleek thin styled high backed leather buckets show some slight folds, as leather tends to do with age, but there is also some seam separation noted on the driver's bucket at the bolster piping. The center console has a nicely padded black leather armrest and this drives the eye forward to the shift lever lighter and temp wheels. The deep set gauges in the swooping upward and outward dash are original, and appear as very clean. Next to this driver's panel is a group of 5 instruments to help keep the pulse, and just below the center dash of this car is the factory AM/FM radio. Behind the seats is the rear storage area covered in soiled gray carpeting, as are all the floors where the seats are and under the dash. I have to comment on all the chromed surrounds, lettering on dials and levers and all over, I see none of it is chipped off. This is a rare detail not often experienced on these cars of this year, so it WAS well taken care of.
Drivetrain
A lift forward of the scooped hood, and we see a numbers matching 350ci V8 in L48 form. It has a 4-barrel carburetor feeding it and a numbers matching TH350 3-speed automatic transmission on back. A 3.08 Positraction rear axle is spinning the rear tires. All original...a real breath of fresh air.
Undercarriage
A surface rust only underside that has good structural stability with a light patina on the flooring and frame. The factory style dual to single to dual muffler exhaust arrangement is on to handle the mighty exhale and we note power disk braking is all around. Independent coil spring suspension up front and a fully independent rear suspension with a frame anchored differential and transverse leaf spring provides the ride and rail like handling.
Drive-AbilityThe car started right up, and ran well. Good handling, and nice overall ride with power steering and power brakes. When you go full throttle, you notice a nice kick in your pants, as well as a smile on your face! During our drive we noted all functions were working save for the AC which blew warm and the clock that didn't keep time. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
I just checked and an astounding 550 Corvettes have passed through Classic Auto Mall! That's nearly 10 times the number of men who signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776. And you know what, each car provides a feeling of sportiness that few can match, and even at the height of the malaise period, a '76 Corvette still excites. This numbers matching version of a 1976 Corvette is a stand out and if you're in the market, put this on your radar. We'll await your John Hancock.
