As a side note. this Corvette is not a dealer auction vehicle.

numbers

Please note when checking the numbers that not only do the

correct stampings and casting numbers appear on the parts. but

all of the dates are also chronologically correct. This

means that all of the parts were made and assembled in the

correct order. For example. all of the dates for the

individual engine components and the engine casting date should

obviously precede the assembly date of the engine because the

parts had to be produced before they could be assembled.

All of the parts I checked follow this rule and are dated

correctly.

condition

Exterior

The bright

red exterior is in nice driver condition. As one can see in the photos. the

paint has a dazzling gloss and deep shine. The car exhibits

good body panel fit overall for a C 3 Corvette. Often Corvettes will have particularly chipped up front ends.

this car does not and even the original front air dam is in good

shape. There are no major imperfections that have been

intentionally excluded from the photos. There is a small chip in

the windshield. We decided to not replace the windshield since

it was original to the car. but we would be glad to have the

windshield replaced for $250 prior to delivery if the future

owner so desires. There is some checking in the paint on the top

surfaces of the car. which is visible in the photos. It is not very noticeable

when standing five or ten feet back. but when right up to the car it is evident. The factory YJ 8 aluminum wheels are in great shape with a nice finish.

The tires are literally brand new with less than 20 miles on

them. As one can see in the photos of the

underside of the car. this Corvette has NO RUST ISSUES . The frame is

totally solid with no rust in front of the rear tire and I have

seen no evidence of corrosion around the windshield.

This

Corvette came equipped with the V 54 Luggage rack and

roof panel carrier. which is in good shape with no major rust

or pitting. It also still retains the chrome

pieces and straps that attach to the luggage rack and

hold the T-tops. It is exceptionally rare for

these accessories to remain with the car over all these

years.

Window Date Codes

Please note that

the side glass and windshield on this car are date coded and original as each piece predates the car's body

build date of May 13. 1977 (J 13). Original glass is a

good indication that this car has had no major accident

history

and never sustained significant damage.

The Corvette looks just as good in person as it does in

the photos

Interior

The

Black interior of the Corvette is also in great original condition. The seats look just in person just as

they do in the photos with no excessive wear. They are not worn through in the topically

area where the driver gets in and out. Please note that

these are the original seats. not some cheap aftermarket

covers or replacements. The carpet is in nice condition

for being original with no stains. rips. or holes. The dash and center console look fantastic

with no splits. sun fading. or cracks. The door panels are in great condition

for being original. The car has never been smoked in. there is no ash in the

ashtray or aroma what so ever. The jack and jack handle are

still

present and stowed behind the passenger seat. Corvette interiors are not known to wear well and the

excellent condition of this interior is a testament

to the meticulous care this car has received throughout it's

life. Even very detailed items that are almost always

broken or shabby are not on this car details such as the

finger pulls for the rear storage compartment and the fit of

the center gauge cluster with the shifter console and down

to the parking brake console.

The interior looks just as good in person as it does in the

photos.

Mechanical

This car seems to be in very good mechanical condition.

We are not

aware of any major work needed and everything on the car works. The car starts right away every time. runs well. and idles well. The car drives terrifically it is tight on the road and at highway speeds. There are no

strange noises or vibrations. The transmission shifts well. does

not pop out of gear. and the clutch feels good. The car was

recently serviced with new calipers so the brakes are

responsive and do not pull to one side or the other. This

Corvette has plenty of power and is pretty fast. Also. the engine

compartment is beautifully clean and detailed as one can see in

the photos. The horn works as

do all the exterior lights. all gauges (with

the obvious exception of the clock). wipers. power windows. and blower for the heater on all speeds.

The vacuum system for the headlights works correctly with no

binding. Also. the headlights go up correctly with either the

headlight switch or vacuum override switch. Their complete

operation from both switches can be observed in the video below. Not enough can be said as to how much of a pleasure it is to

drive this car. especially with the 4-speed and the T-tops out on a beautiful day.

Overall Condition

Overall. this 1977 Corvette is in

fantastic driver condition. Numbers matching is extremely important in Corvette pricing

and as one can see. this car is very correct. There are

photos below of the VIN stamps on the engine block and

transmission. In

our experience the 1977 model year draws a small premium

over the other late 70's C 3 Corvettes. It was the last

year for the straight back window and "sugar scoop" roof

treatment. which is generality regarded as more

attractive than the bubble back window on the 1978+

Corvettes. 1977 also features the more desirable updated

interior. and the newer style steering wheel replaced

the Vega style used in 1976.

The originality. very low miles. and the great

extent to which the numbers match make this car especially

important and difficult to duplicate. This Corvette always gets a ton of attention driving down the road. It is

very apparent that the vehicle has been well taken care of by

its previous owners. The prices of C 3 Corvettes have

increased drastically over the past years. They are secure

and wise investments for a collector. One could easily enjoy this vehicle for several years and sell

it for more than the purchase price with minimal effort.

Thank you for looking and please do not

hesitate to email or call with any questions.
