Third-generation Corvette models are generally not the most sought-after examples of the breed, but for those of us who admire the classic Stingray shape, that’s a good thing. Even clean examples, like this 1977 Corvette for sale on Hemmings.com, remain an affordable entry into the world of Corvette ownership. While performance may be modest by modern standards, the aftermarket supplies a near endless amount of product to make these cars go faster, stop shorter or carry more speed into a corner. And therein lies the conundrum with this mostly unmodified four-speed example: Stay the course, and keep it as close to stock as possible, or add the parts necessary to make it a more capable performer? From the seller’s description:
Great styling in this C3 1977 CORVETTE STINGRAY. 4 speed manual transmission 350 cu in V8 180 hp. All original except for new: battery, manifold heat riser, air conditioning converted to R134, front brake calipers, alternator, clock, radio and speakers, carpeting, gas tank, heater, and rubber hoses. Great fun car to drive and a conversation starter! Always garaged. Seen at Ann Arbor Rolling Sculpture car show and Woodward Dream Cruise.
