F/S 1977 Corvette restored deal of the century!
1977 Corvette nicely restored, less than 100 miles on restoration drives great, idles great. No rust NC car all its life. Father and son project son wants SUV instead (Oh well) have some restoration pics and most receipts if you want them, my third C3 Vette resto. Everything works as it should.
New Paint correct silver color
New (not rebuilt) GMPP 290 HP 350 engine (not numbers matching duh, but at least a 120 HP stronger than stock (170 HP) and idles great)
New Interior (new front carpet, deluxe door panels, t top panels, dash)
New stereo (With I-pod hook up and video)
New front suspension (Springs, shocks, bushings, control arms, wheel bearings, etc.. most everything)
New Brakes (Calipers, shoes and hoses)
New BFG Tires
New complete AC blows cold
New Aluminum Radiator
New starter, fuel pump, water pump, wiper motor.
New engine dress up package
New true dual exhaust with Hi flo CATs (doesnt smell like an old car) should pass inspection most places.
New steering colum (77s have the wiper switch on the column it was easier to replace then fix wiper switch)
100% feedback
Great car I've got 20k in it I'm sure. My loss, My gain, worth it for time spent with son.
$9,000 firm. Thanks for looking. SOLD!!!

don’t take this as an insult but that looks just like the vett my grandmother used to take me cruising in when I was little. my grandfather made her sell it for 2k and it almost looked as good as yours. after riding in that car I knew my first car would be a vett.

INT IS RED WITH NEW FRONT CARPETS, DOOR PANELS, SEAT COVERS AND DASH PAD, THE INT IS VERY GOOD CONDITION.
THE PREVIOUS OWNER SPENT ALOT ON THE MECHANICS, BUT THE PAINT AND BODY WORK WAS DONE BY AN AMATEUR, THE PAINT LOOKS GOOD FROM 10-15 FEET AWAY IT IS A GOOD DRIVER QUILITY CAR, THE HEADLIGHTS WORK BUT GO UP SLOWLY, IF YOU REV. THE MOTOR A LITTLE THEY GO UP A LITTLE FASTER, THE HOOD OPENS AND CLOSES FINE BUT THE LINES TO THE FENDERS ARE OFF A LITTLE. THE PAINT HAS A FEW CHIPS AND DULL SPOTS HERE AND THERE.

Hi,
Don't you have to SEE and DRIVE the car in person to know, (for sure), what your money is buying?
Regards,
Alan

Heh, the paint looks pretty darn good in the pics. If he went and saw the car in person, and the paint job wasn't good enough, why the heck did he buy it? I would think it's more likely that he knows he got this for a steal and wants to make a buck on it. Wish I had the money for it. Would be a great first C3 for anyone who wants one.
