One of the last Years and models of the true classic Corvette muscle cars.<br />
<br />
This pre facelift C3 Vette retains the wonderful styling of the Mako Shark but with the imperfections ironed out.<br />
<br />
<br />
I am offering this stunning matching numbers 1977 corvette for sale. Classic White with a red leather interior.<br />
Looks and sounds awesome, turns heads everywhere it goes. This is an extremely reliable and comfortable High Performance Muscle Car.<br />
<br />
I imported the car after it spent the last 20 years sat in a garage. A couple bought it in California and moved to Maryland. They split up and she locked it in the garage and it was literally left there for 20 years. Because of this the car is unbelievable original. It has all its original stickers, original jack and tools, even has the original spare wheel (which I have never seen before) the car has also never been undercoated and I ve left it that way for the next owner, it puts my 2010 Volvo to shame. It s structurally amazing for a car of its age. She runs and drives beautifully with only 32,952 miles from new. She has good oil pressure with no knocks and moves through her gears smoothly.<br />
<br />
The engine is an original and numbers matching 350 small block, still has the Chevy blue paint on the block (completely original with GM carb which I believe is a Rochester), chrome air box and rocker covers, a high output distributor.<br />
The car has its original Rally wheels with new Cooper Cobra tyres all around. Since coming out of hibernation the car has been serviced and had all its fluids changed (oil, gearbox, brake and rear axle) it also has been given new front brake callipers and the rest refurbed. New brake cylinder, refurbed headlight actuators. I ve built boxes in the luggage area and fitted new 6x9 speakers. I have replaced the stereo but with a better but still older unit. (The car still has the original dash spaces for the stereo and I didn t want to cut it to fit a modern one). It has digital radio and a tape deck that I bought and an adaptor so I can play my phone through it.<br />
<br />
<br />
The car s interior is spotless, Red leather seats, Red dash and door cards and a black carpet, every dial works as it should. The electric windows work, heater works, everything works.<br />
<br />
The car has colour coated T top panels and the original leather covers to pack them away.<br />
<br />
The car has no leaks of oil or any other fluid, runs beautifully, drives beautifully and is ready to be driven and enjoyed.<br />
<br />
An awesome sound track from the growling 350 and amazing performance.<br />
<br />
Being over 40 years old the car no longer needs to be MOT d and neither do you have to pay for road tax, Insurance is about 200 which makes it a very cheap toy to own (especially considering it will increase in value every year). A truly usable daily driver that is such a pleasure to drive, easy to park thanks to Power Steering, stops on a dime thanks to (newly overhauled) power brakes. The soundtrack with the windows down is the best entertainment though. Remove the targa roof and enjoy the wind in your hair.<br />
<br />
The car has no rust on the bird cage or under the car. The body is in great condition with no spidering or fibreglass delamination. The paint is in great condition. It has a few spots that I have touched in (the passenger t top panels had a scratch and the point at the front bumper)<br />

Everything on the car works as it should. The cars heating is fine but the AC has had its belt removed.<br />
<br />
In terms of faults the only thing I can mention, is that the battery will need replacing at some point. It works fine and I ve fitted a cut off to stop it going flat when not in use but even disconnected the battery needs a recharge after a week.<br />
<br />
I have registered the car to be driven in the UK. She comes with all the normal Uk documents in my name, and she is literally ready to be driven, shown and enjoyed.<br />
