Default 1977 L82 4speed 98k miles $15,000









Very rare car with only 83 produced like it in 1977. L82, M21 transmission, 56L bright yellow paint, 692 trim, factory aluminum wheels, key in driver fender. Interior is almost in perfect condition more detailed pictures available. Lots of new parts. Edelbrock Performer carb, Edelbrock 8.5mm plug wires, NGK spark plug, HEI distributor, front brake calipers and pads, master cylinder, brake booster, front inner and outer wheel bearings both sides, AFR 190rst Torque Monster heads just had new valve guides a couple weeks ago. Copper Cobra tires are almost brand new less then a year old. This car is really in great shape. Original engine not running included. And of course more pictures/videos and more information is available on request.

Nice. Pics of engine and undercarriage would help.

That key in fender is the old school alarms.

My aunt had one in here 280z back in the late 70's/early 80's.

I posted pictures of undercarriage and engine as requested. The alarm does still work I use it every time I park and 85% of the time I forget and set off the alarm.

I guess I forgot to include engine size. It took 4 times to get the description done. I would almost get done then it would disappear and I have to restart But yes it has a 383 Stroker. The person I bought it from (!someone that I trust) said that it had close enough to 450hp to put a label on it. I haven’t had it on a dyno but I believe what I was told.

I have the original engine, the A/C compressor, and a couple odds and ends. The car itself is almost all original as it sits.

If the car is still available I would love to set up a time to check it out. I’m in Dallas but I can make the trip up as early as Thursday.

My father's first corvette was this exact car....L82, 4 speed, tan leather, and that yellow. I didn't realize the combination was so rare until I started looking for one to give him (after several vettes, he's moved on to Porsche cars). I'd like to get him one so we can cruise together.

OP, is this car still available?

To the OP. That's why I didn't address any other guy.

77’s and 78’s without the T & T column used the same steering wheel as the 76.

Read the posts and look at the evaporator box on the passenger side of the engine compartment.

My '79, which did not have T & T, also had the Vega steering wheel....but when I got it, the owner had already replaced it with a wooden one....but still had the Vega steering wheel, which I've had mounted on my garage wall all these years.
