1977 Chevrolet Corvette T-Top Sport Coupe
1 Owner car with only 4,549 actual documented miles (Not a misprint actual real 1 owner mile car)
Properly stored since new and started on occasion to keep everything lubricated. Everything works on the car and drives like a brand new 1977 Corvette!
Outstanding "Survivor" condition that does not need restoring. Many so called "Survivor" cars look only good in certain areas but this one looks good not only outside and inside but the chassis as well shown in the photos. An opportunity to own as close to a new 1977 as you can get. These are great investment model Corvettes that will continually to increase in value for years to come.
No-Hit body, riginal paint, riginal interior, riginal engine and drivetrain, riginal dated shocks, ust about original everything except for a new A/C Delco battery and new correct Goodyear Steelgard RWLTires just now being reproduced at cost of $350 a piece! The wheels were also added to the car and are the chrome plated version that just make the carreally stand out. You can easilybe looking at $2,500 justfor the tires and wheels on this Corvette.

This is an original engine and drivetrain car.
The overall condition of this car is a strong 2. Many will say a # 1 but Nothing is perfect. I have been around these model Corvettes and have not seen many that will compare to this one. Not to many one owners to mention as well with all contact information to confirm the miles and quality of the car. The paint on this car has a lot of shine and shows well. There is not paint cracking nor any cracking of the original urethane front and rear bumpers. You do have to realize that these Corvettes were painted differently than the ones of today. Back then they did not have the clear coats so it was crucial in how you kept the car stored and maintained. The lines on the car is as nice as they come. The glass is all original in near perfect condition. All window rubbers and door weatherstrips are original and not cracked! Amazing still how they look and feel. The trim around the T-tops and top of windshield is as new. The rocker moldings, ail light assemblies, mblems, ront grill assembly, ll look fresh and new but are all original to the car. The license plate hardware is even the correct original ones. Everything on this car looks nice and fresh. The interior is just "wow". The carpet, oor panels, eats, ash assembly, ll instruments look as if it came off the assembly line yesterday. No cracks, o tears, eedles on all gauges are crisp with no dust behind them, enter console shows no wear, sh tray is original and crisp, ever smoked in or any food in the car, till has the new car smell. This was a first for a factory installed leather wrapped steering wheel and it to is just as close to new as you could ever get. The floor mats are original and even though the interior is all black, hey are a dark grey in color mats. This was correct and only seen in 1977. You will not see many 77s with these original style mats still in them. I have seen a set of just the floor mats like these go for $300! The original radio works and even the clock works most of the time. The cruise control still works, he a/c and all heater controls still work, eadlights open and close with ease, ipers work, ashers even still work, nd all lighting works like it should.
The engine compartment and chassis on this car should not be left out. The paint is still very visible on the engine and intake as most get worn and burnt off over the years. The underhood insulation is excellent, he hosesall look good, he engine bay is all originalwith the exception of the chrome air cleaner lid which can be changed back to the original black one in seconds, he exhaust all looks fresh with the original catalytic converter still on the car, ear leaf spring, rive shafts, alf shafts, il pan, nderbody floors, rame, re all in excellent condition. Original spare tire compartment looks fresh, as tank shows no visible surface rusting, e did service the car and installed a correct white A/C PF 25 oil filter, ear end grease changed, ear wheel bearing assemblies repacked, nd gave the car an entire look over and corrected anything that might be needed. We have personally driven the car and was impressed not only how tight and nice it drove, ut how much power it actually had. It by no means is no Hot Rod, ut will get down the road fine and hold its own at 70 or 80 mph. Great cruise night car that you can turn the a/c on and have many power accessories unlike the older Corvettes were you seldom have that many options and features. Unleaded gas can be run in the car as 1975 was the first year to start that in a Corvette. This was the last year to see the 160 mph speedometer, he last year fora full size spare tire and wheel, nd the last year for the straight back rear window which makes this model more desirable and sought after.
1977 also was a year for some needed improvements. This included a new console that held the heater and air conditioning controls and accepted standard Delco radios due to its increased depth. The side panels of the console and emergency brake were covered in a vinyl material that matched the interior color. This was the only year for that as all other years after 1977 were carpeted. The was the last year for a full dash pad assembly with two separate large instruments for the speedometer and tachometer. Later in 1978 the speedo and tach were built into one assembly together. This was also the last year for the passenger side map pocket as in 1978 and later this became a glovebox assembly. A new steering column positioned the steering wheel two inches closer to the instrument panel to provide more of an "arms out" driving position, nd easier entry and exit. A new smaller air conditioning compressor was introduced thus revised to be better efficient and work even better than the previous years that had the long style base a/c compressor. New option K30 speed control was first introduced but did require the automatic transmission. Leather seats were standard equipment for the first time in 1977, ut a cloth-leather combination could be substituted at no cost. Between August 23 and September 7, 976, lint Engine changed from orange paint to blue for Corvettes engines. The headlight dimmer and windshield wiper/washer controls were located on steering column stalks. Sunshades were redesigned to permit swinging to the side windows. The interior rearview mirror mounting point was relocated from above the windshield to the windshield itself. A new V54 roof rack option was introduced to design to hold the T-Top panels, ermitting use of the full luggage compartment when the panels were removed. This was the first time that the Corvette was not badged "Stingray" on the side fenders as the previous 1976 model was the last to see that. The cross flag emblems were put into place however very early 77 models had no badging at all and can be shown in the original sales brochure.
The ZX2 convenience group option like this one has consists of dome light delay, eadlight warning buzzer, nderhood light, ow fuel warning light, nterior courtesy lights and right side visor mirror.
Also this year the alarm activator was moved from the driver-side fender to the driver-side door lock in later production.
