From the Driver’s Seat - Our team’s personal take on what makes this classic stand out
THE ESSENTIALS
The 1977 Chevrolet Corvette represents the refined maturity of the C3 generation, combining iconic shark-inspired styling with meaningful mechanical upgrades and everyday usability. This Corvette is equipped with the original and desirable L82 350ci V8 rated at 210 horsepower, paired with a four-speed manual transmission and factory T-tops. Finished in Red Medium over a black interior, the Corvette presents in overall good condition and is well suited for regular driving.
Built for the 1977 model year at Chevrolet’s St. Louis assembly plant, this Corvette is one of approximately 49,000 coupes produced that year. The Corvette was purchased by the current owner in early 2024 and shows 94,595 miles, consistent with regular use and enjoyment.
The fiberglass body retains the unmistakable C3 profile with long hood, flared fenders, pop-up headlights, straight and removable T-top roof panels. Originally finished in Black Tuxedo, this Corvette has been refinished in Red Medium which is in good overall condition. There are small paint bubbles, chips, and minor imperfections concentrated toward the front end. Body panels remain in very good overall condition, and the upgraded 15-inch aluminum wheels provide both a visual and weight-saving improvement over stock, wrapped in Hankook Kinergy 245/60R15 tires in very good condition. A rear luggage rack allows convenient T-top storage or additional cargo capacity, and 1977 marks the final year of the distinctive “sugar scoop” rear window design.
The interior features black leather bucket seats that are in excellent condition. Black cut-pile carpeting presents well, and the woodgrain center console houses a full complement of working gauges with a tilt-telescopic three-spoke steering wheel. Power windows, heat, and air conditioning are in working condition, while the upgraded AM/FM/CD radio functions despite an inoperative display.
Power comes from the optional L82 350 cubic inch V8, producing 210 horsepower and delivers a noticeable step up in performance over the base L48. The engine is paired with a four-speed manual transmission, engaging through the shorter center-console shifter introduced for improved ergonomics. Key performance attributes for the L82 include four-bolt-main construction, four-barrel carburetor, and higher compression ratio. Dual exhaust provides the unmistakable small-block V8 sound, while independent suspension, power steering, and four-wheel power disc brakes deliver balanced handling and confident stopping power. The Corvette retains its factory safety features, including energy-absorbing steering column and dual seat and shoulder belts, rounding out an enjoyable C3 Corvette package.
