1976 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe

1976 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe For consignment, a 1976 Chevrolet Corvette coupe showing 6,294 miles, but the true miles are unknown. This one has some engine modification and with a snorkel hood intake and giant rear wing, its not hiding its intent! Due to modifications of the emissions control devices installed by the manufacturer, please check your local, state, and federal laws to determine if this vehicle is applicable for use on public highways in your area. Exterior Two stage black paint covers this plastic fantastic, the sinister nature of the color enhanced by the obvious hood scoop in front and table top wing on the back that transforms this canyon carving sports car into a mile warrior. Thats hammered home by the 15-inch Weld DragLite wheels on board with tires that are no older than six years, slightly staggered in width and drag radials in back. The wing has sidewalls that in effect, continue the work of the flying buttresses to funnel air rearward while still allowing full view from the vertical rear window. Solid red tail lights add some flair, while rocker trim dresses the bottom edge. Imperfections include orange peel paint, chips, and bent front wheels. Interior Standard black vinyl door panels lead to black, gray, and red cloth racing seats with red racing harnesses on each, and the seats show some age but are fully intact ahead of a gutted rear section that houses the battery. A GT steering wheel fronts a dash with standard speedometer, an added tachometer, and cut in lights with plenty of patina to go round. A custom burnt orange center stack has a series of white face Sunpro gauges and an AM/FM/CD player ahead of the B&M shifter and hand labeled toggle switches. Theres some gray floor coverings and no headliner on the T-tops above. Drivetrain The heart of the matter is a good looking 355ci V8 with Eagle rods, a Scat crank, AFR heads and a 4-barrel Edelbrock carburetor atop a high rise intake. Its mated to a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission that routes power to the rear axle with 3.70 gears and Positraction. Undercarriage We find dry driver quality conditions underneath with some typical surface rust and some custom cutouts along with dual exhaust that originate at headers and run through Flow FX by FlowMaster mufflers and terminate behind the rear bumper. There are no catalytic converters on board. Power disc brakes are supplied to all four corners and suspension consists of coil springs in front and transverse leaf springs in back with half shafts, lateral struts and control arms. Drive-Ability We strap in, pump the gas, and crank the V8 to life and it bellows its way onto the test loop with some obvious power underfoot, straight tracking, and smooth, automatic shifting. A few things are not working on the car and that includes the headlights that wont roll up, the horn, tail lights, turn signals, brake lights and power passenger window. Beyond those things, functions needed to get from A to B and monitor engine conditions while cranking some tunes, all work as intended. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase. We love the shade tree vibe of this old school build and certainly has appeal and potential. This could be a mean street cruiser or actual track car, it all depends on how much you want to add to it. As is, it has some visual and auditory appeal that will attract the hot rod and race crowd at the next cruise in! 1Z37L6S403851 1-Chevrolet Z-Corvette 37-Coupe L-350ci 180hp L48 4bbl V8 6-1976 S-St. Louis, MO Assy Plant 403851-Sequential Unit Number TRIM TAG B16-September 16th TRIM 642-Light Buckskin Leather PAINT 72L-Corvette Red Classic Auto Mall is home to more than 1,000 classic and collectible vehicles for sale via consignment in a climate controlled 336,000-square foot showroom (thats more than 8 acres!).
