Default C3 question from a C4 guy

What year was the last year for the Stingray? Were there verts made in that year? Can someone provide a pic and what one would cost if it was in average condition? I may come across one for sale. I dont have any details, but any info would be appreciated, like options and stuff. TIA

75 was the last year for the convertible and 74 was the last year for the big block.

As stated above last year for Stingray was '76 and no verts that year.

Most '76's came with power windows, power steering, power brakes, air con, auto trans and a map light!. Rare options would be L82 engine (210hp) and 4 speed manual. The only option I would stay away from would be the California Emissions Certification :lol:

I'd say average price would be 10k. Sorry I have no pics.

Hope this helps

You may want to pic up something like the Corvette Black Book. Lots of info, options, quantities produced, etc. A wealth of into for under $15.
