Red Corvettes never go out of style. If youre looking to indulge in a little plastic fantasticand#44; this entry-level 1977 Corvette sports vivid red paint and a rumbling small block with a few performance upgrades tucked inside. There arent many vehicles that grant you admission to all the top events like a Corvetteand#44; and this one will be welcome anywhere from Bloomington Gold to the National Corvette Homecoming. Red Corvettes always hold a certain appeal. Perhaps its the audaciousness of painting an already outrageous car a high-visibility color. Or maybe its just that when most folks picture a Corvette in their minds eyeand#44; they think of a red one. Whatever the reasonand#44; theres no denying that this is one great-looking Vette. With a nice finish on straightand#44; undamaged fiberglassand#44; the body on this Corvette certainly lives up to the billing it gets from the red paint. Even gapsand#44; tight fits on the front and rear bumpersand#44; and only a few signs of road rashand#44; all add up to a car that looks great sitting in your driveway or hammering down Route 66. Its not perfectand#44; but you really need to get up close to find the flawsand#44; meaning this is a Corvette you can drive and enjoy without worriesand#44; something thats becoming a rarity in the high-dollar Corvette world. More bright red greets you when you open the doorand#44; with optional code 722 Red leather seats. The deep buckets show no cracking or splits in the seamsand#44; while the dashboards unblemished condition suggests indoor parking for most of its life. The carpets are in excellent shape thanks to a set of Corvette-logo floor mats and overall the interior has a very proper look where no component is too new or too worn. The 3-spoke steering wheel is racy and wrapped in more matching red leatherand#44; and the center console was standard equipment in 1977. The original AM/FM radio is still in place and options like A/Cand#44; power windowsand#44; and a tilt/telescope steering column were popular choicesand#44; as was the automatic transmissionand#44; suggesting that Corvettes demographics were changing in the mid-70s. Todayand#44; howeverand#44; it makes for an outstanding driving partner and everything works like it should. The engine is a fresh L48-spec 350 cubic inch crate motorand#44; and the brightly detailed small block under the hood today cackles with the promise of performance. Unlike most Corvettes of this vintage howeverand#44; it remains pretty stockand#44; including the original Rochester 4-barrel carburetor and factory intake. Thanks to a true dual exhaust system in place of the original choked single tubeand#44; just hearing the car at idle will do all the advertising you need. The engine carries a transferable warrantyand#44; which is always reassuring for a new ownerand#44; and the front suspension has been recently rebuilt as well . A TH350 3-speed automatic transmission makes this more of a grand touring car than a hardcore sports pieceand#44; but youll appreciate its ability to knife through traffic with just a gentle squeeze of the throttle. Those fat 215/70/15 Goodyear radials on classic Rally wheels contribute to this cars high-performance look. Is this a perfect Corvette? No. But it is a great driving car with a bright red paint job and a fresh engine that will win fans wherever it goes. You wont find more Corvette for your money anywhere else. Call today! |
