Default c3 corvette w/ ls engine

Year: 1976
Make: Chevrolet
Model: Corvette
Price: $10500
Mileage: 110000
Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing
Location (State): CA
Color: Red
Transmission: Automatic
Drivetrain: Rear Wheel Drive
LS Engine?: Car has LS engine

Moving to California. The 76 would have to be emission tested. The car is completely drivable and road worthy. The only thing it really needs is paint and to be detailed out or finished to your own taste.here is what I've done so far:

Interior; New carpet, 1982 Corvette seats, 1982 Corvette tilt-telescopic wheel, various new parts, Original seats included

Drive train; Transgo shift kit in transmission, 2500 rpm stall torque converter, Rear end rebuilt w/ new hardened stub axles

Wheels & Tires; 18x8 Wheel Replica IROC wheels, 255-45-18 Goodyear F1 Supercar Tires, less than 500 miles

Suspension; Urethane suspension bushings in rear, 1 3/8” front sway bar, 1” rear sway bar, 460lb front springs, 330lb fiberglass rear spring, front cross bar, Bilstien shocks, entire car lowered approx 1.5 inches, Power Rack and Pinion steering

Brakes: All 4 calipers are stainless steel O-ring and rebuilt, new master cylinder

See pics at www.fineairbrush.com/corvette

The paint is showing it's age, there is a previous repair on the right front fender starting to show through( still very shiny andlooks good from 20 feet).The door panels have some cracks around the screw holes but still look pretty good.The only things that do not work on the car are the clock and the parking brake. The frame is as solid as can be. The car has 110,000 miles, the motor has 50,000 from what I was told.The car runs and drives fantastic, an absolute blast to drive. I would rather not sell it but from what I hear it will be quite a hassle to get it licensed in Cali.

Coming down to the wire. If I don't sell this car before 6/20 I am going to have to line up trucking to ship it to our new home in California. If I do that it will no longer be for sale. Anyone shipped cars enough to know a good transporter?

WOW. Amazing car. If I had the money, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. My jaw literally dropped when I saw this. The front airdam and the side pipes make this car. Bump for you.

That car is gorgeous. I'd keep it looks like you have a lot of work in it. It reminds me of new camaros and mustangs by it being an older style body with a modern engine. Good luck with the sale!
