The Corvette is a line of American 2 door 2 seat sports cars manufactured by Chevrolet since 1953. The 3rd generation (C3) was patented after the Mako Shark II concept car. It was sold from 1968 through 1982 and were the first coupes to feature T-tops. New for 1976 was a one-piece badge instead of separate letters and a modified hood that changed the air induction system to pull air from further forward over the radiator eliminating the howl that could be heard in the cabin. This particular example has just 30,248 original miles and retains its original L48 engine and Turbo 350 auto transmission. It is fully loaded with A/C that blows ice cold, power windows, a rear window defroster, Gymkhana suspension, power brakes, power steering, an AM/FM Stereo, a heavy-duty battery, a map light and aluminum wheels. It was last serviced at 30,234 miles at which time the current owner had a whole new radiator, water pump, thermostat, belts, hoses and anything related to the cooling system replaced. Right before being loaded on a truck to come to our shop a brand-new battery was installed. Based on its present condition we would conservatively appraise this as a number 2 car which has a current value of $26,000. We are serious about selling her and have priced it as a number 3 car so if you like what you see we encourage you to contact us before someone else beats you to it!
