If it is the original color the trim tag on the door frame should by code #80 for Corvette Tan.

I believe that color in 1977 was called Corvette Tan, code #80. According to my Corvette Black Book, there were 4,588 produced in that color out of 49,213 Corvettes produced in '77.

My neighbour has a 1977 L-82 that exact color. It was pretty popular that year. I have seen quite a few. Code 80 - Corvette Tan - 4,588 produced. Not my favorite color, but it grows on you.

Thanks guys.
I already thought it should be the Tan color,but I never saw it in real life.

Guess I really should get me a black book!
