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.

2020 Chevy Corvette Stingray vs the world: How it compares on paper
Mon, Jul 22 2019The 2020 Chevy Corvette Stingray in its base form offers an astonishing amount of performance for the money. In fact, so impressive is the car's spec sheet that the Corvette kind of exists in two different competitive sets: one of cars priced similarly, and another with cars of similar performance and reputation. To get a feel for how it handles each of these segments, we've compiled specifications for those two sets of players. You can find the first set below, which looks at cars of roughly the same price point. Following that is a bit of analysis, and then there's a chart of cars with similar performance and reputation. And that chart will also have some analysis. Though final pricing for the Corvette hasn't been announced yet, we know the Corvette will start at less than $60,000. And as far as pricing goes, its closest competitor is the Porsche 718 Cayman, which also starts at just under $60,000. Both are mid-engined and rear-drive, but the Corvette offers an extra 195 horsepower and 190 pound-feet of torque. The Cayman does boast a curb weight of right around 3,000 pounds, so it weighs a few hundred pounds less than the Corvette, but it's likely not enough to make up for the power deficit. The Corvette's sub-3.0-second 0-60 time bears this out against the Cayman's best 4.5-second run. Impressively, though, the Cayman has more cargo space than the Corvette in a package that's nearly 10 inches shorter. The Cayman also still offers a manual option for those that prefer self-shifting. The 2020 Toyota Supra is on the cheap end of this sports car class, just crossing $50,000. It also boasts more power than the Cayman, though it's still down by 160 ponies and 105 pound-feet of torque to the C8. It's also about as roomy as the Corvette, despite being about the same size as the Cayman. Cargo space is a bit tighter. Its driving characteristics will likely differ, too as the Supra sits on a front-engine platform. It might even feel closer to a C7 Corvette in some ways. The other mid-engine entry in this price range is the 2019 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider. Its small 1.7-liter turbo inline-4 only makes 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, but it's also far and away the lightest of this group at 2,487 pounds. That's roughly 1,000 pounds lighter than the Corvette. It isn't as fast as the Corvette in a straight line, but that lightness surely pays dividends in cornering and braking.
Some 2012-13 Chevy Volts may not have enough battery coolant
Mon, Jun 23 2014The 2012 and 2013 model year Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle may have a battery glitch caused by low coolant levels. No recall has been issued and General Motors is taking care of the issue at no cost to drivers. Some of the affected Volts may have lower-than-advisable coolant levels because of some pesky air pockets in the car's cooling circuit. When the coolant levels get too low, the charging system for the battery powering the car's onboard generator (i.e. the Rechargeable Energy Storage System, or the RESS) may be shut down, turning one's Volt into a run-of-the-mill gas-powered car, and a pricey one at that. The Car Connection says GM is advising owners of the '12 and '13 Volts to contact their local Chevy dealer for a free fix. GM representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGreen for more details. We believe this is a separate issue than the one that brought 8,000 Volts back to the dealers for a battery coolant fix, what GM called a "voluntary customer satisfaction effort," a few years ago. General Motors sold 23,094 Chevy Volts last year after selling 23,461 Volts in 2012, so that fix-it list may get fairly lengthy. Check out a GM-Volt.com user thread related to this issue here. *UPDATE: Chevrolet spokesman Randy Fox confirmed in an e-mail to AutoblogGreen that the company issued a service bulletin to dealers that they may need to top off coolant levels on certain Volts because of the issue, and that the vehicle will "return to normal charging operation" once that's done.
Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states
Fri, 26 Sep 2014The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.
