1976 Chevrolet Corvette LT-1

C3 generation of Corvettes were the stingrays patterned after the Mako Shark II designed by Larry Shinoda and executed under Bill Mitchell's direction. After 1974 government restrictions, the gigantic muscle cars were being scaled back to just cruisers more than road carvers. The C3 Corvette though lived on being advertised as “a more efficient Corvette” while still maintaining the bite that wasn't currently being produced elsewhere. The 1976 models featured steel floor panels which reduced interior noise and weighed less than the previous fiberglass floors. Power levels and speed were on the rise while power everything (steering, brakes, etc) made these a pleasure to drive.

This 1976 Stingray Corvette is featured in its original factory color with one repaint, Buckskin. Yes, Buckskin is a rare factory color that gives the stringray a really cool, unique look. It is powered by the original L48 350ci V8 paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission. It features air conditioning, power steering, power brakes, power windows, t-tops, front vented disc brakes, original cast alloy wheels, and original radio. Recent work to the heater core, air conditioning, exhaust manifold gaskets, and water pump have this vette ready to rock all summer long. With spare parts inexpensive and readily available, C3 Corvettes are a steal as far as classic cars go that can provide such a fun driving experience while turning heads down the road.
