This 1977 Corvette is one of the nicest original untouched Survivor cars that you will find. Everything on this car is virtually untouched and in excellent condition. Only one repaint and done very nice a few years ago. All door jambs, hood lips, are all untouched original paint, and with all decals, labels, weatherstrips, etc. You cannot really appreciate this car until you see and drive it! Finished in Medium Red with Black Deluxe Leather Interior. No-Hit body as well. All Window glass is original and correctly date coded including the rare rear window defogger glass. The aluminum wheels show very nice and we just installed new BF/Goodrich Radial TA's White Lettered this week. The size is the correct one for the car in P225/70R15. The spare tire and wheel is an original one and still has the label on it. The paint still shows very well but is not perfect. Body fit is as nice as they come. The chassis is untouched and original including the original exhaust system and catalytic converter with the exception of new mufflers recently installed. All original frame in excellent no rust condition, original spare tire tub, no dents in frame as you will see in most of these cars due to a post lift or heavy jack. All interior is near perfect with no tears, rips, or even flaws. The dash pad, all instruments, console, seat belts, carpeting, all look as if it is new but is all original. All indicator lights on dash work, a/c still works and blows cold, headlights open and close properly, just as it left the factory in 1977! Original jack and lug wrench untouched, T-Top Leather storage bags still where they are suppose to be, even the strap that holds the T-tops in place behind the seat still there. You can clearly see the factory red paint in the rear storage compartment area along with factory overspray underneath fender wells as it should be. Chassis markings and inspection markings, labels, are still visible. The front and rear bumpers are very nice and soft, unlike most that are brittle and cracked due to improperly stored and weathered. This Corvette has definitely been cared for and stored properly with minimal deterioration. I have seen Corvettes with even less miles than this one and do not look as good! Excellent Investment car that is still affordable. Corvettes like these are fast appreciating as there is not many left.

Interesting 1977 Corvette Facts:
This was the last year for the straight back window
A new console held heater and a/c controls and accepted standard Delco radios due to its increased depth. A new steering column positioned the steering wheel two inches closer to the instrument panel to provide more of an "arms out" driving position., and easier entry and exit.
The interior rearview mirror was relocated from above the windshield to the windshield itself.
Headlight dimmer switch and windshield wiper controls were moved and located on the steering column stalks.
Leather Seats were standard
The factory alarm system that was located on the drivers side front fender was moved in mid production to the drivers side door lock
Very early 1977 Model Corvettes engine blocks were painted Chevrolet Orange and Mid to late production all were painted blue as this car is.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
GM says hybrid Corvette no laughing matter [w/poll]
Fri, 30 Aug 2013When Mark Reuss was in LA recently, he sat down to have a few words with the scribes at the Los Angeles Times. When the issue of a hybrid Corvette came up, Reuss answered with "Don't laugh." The General Motors president is a complete fan of the possibility, calling it "attractive" and "really fun," believing it would improve GM expertise and that "people would love it."
Naturally, the president being supportive of an idea doesn't give indication that a hybrid Corvette is on the way. However, with supercars like the Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari giving hybrid tech a solid, if remote, place in the performance car world, the inexorable trickle-down of technology means we shouldn't be surprised if and when it does happen.
And now that we have that non-negative half-answer to a speculative question, it would be irresponsible for us not to commence rumormilling for the C8 Corvette. Taking Reuss at his word, the C8 will obviously be a hybrid with all-wheel-drive - the left side wheels driven with electric motors, the right side with the mid-mounted, four-cylinder diesel engine. With coefficient of drag of just .16, figure on a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of under 2 seconds and an all-electric range of something like 30 miles at top speed. Don't forget, folks, you read it here first.
A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]
Thu, Dec 18 2014Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.
