1977 Chevrolet Corvette

Description

Time to get your hands on a factory black-on-black 'Vette for under $15K. This 1977 Chevrolet Corvette is a head-turner in its original color scheme, and the rumbling V8 with four-speed manual means you'll love driving it everywhere.

Most late-70s Corvettes you see keep close to the '78 pace car's mute silver color scheme, but this one has always gone in a very different direction. This coupe is bold with a sinister black paintjob that shows all signs of being what the factory laid down nearly 40 years ago. But it's not just a survivor story on the outside, this C3 has a unique take all on its own. 1977 was the final year for the flying buttress rear end. This history is combined with some cool additions like the D80 body package offered a few years later that had a sporty front air damn and distinct rear spoiler. The aggressive black appearance helps highlight accessory items on this one like the lower rockers, luggage rack, and optional aluminum wheels.

The darkness continues on the inside with factory-correct black leather interior. But these bucket seats feel too supple to be survivors, someone has made a nice investment here. Like any good Corvette of the era, this one comes loaded with power windows, tilt/telescope wheel, electric rear defogger, and an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo with aux input for the most modern music players. For the driver, there's a comfortable leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel. Beyond that is the large speedometer and tachometer in front, and a full gauge package prominently to the side. And when you want to show the world that your interior is as fantastically black as the exterior, you can go cruising around with the T-tops off. Plus, the factory air conditioning means you can stay cool while doing it, too.

Under the hood is Chevy's trusty 350 small block V8. It looks just as powerful and busy as the ones you see in most other late C3s, but this one hides a secret. In the undercarriage photos you can see the long tub headers that not only add performance, but they also connect to electronic cutouts that really let everyone know you've got an upgraded V8 inside this black beauty. While you're looking at those, you might also want to check out the updates the fully independent sports suspension. When you combine that with the control offered by the four-speed manual transmission and four-wheel disc brakes, and you've got an experience on the road that will keep you searching for the long way home.

Complete with maintenance records, you're looking at one desirable classic 'Vette. And when you factor in the affordable price, you know you have to hurry to take it home. Call today!!!
