This Chevrolet Corvette C3 got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1977 Chevrolet Corvette is powered by a 350ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission, and it is finished in orange over tan leather upholstery. Equipment includes pop-up headlights, removable T-top roof panels, power windows, air conditioning, an AM/FM radio, and 15″ American Racing wheels. The car was first sold in Alabama, and its current owner added approximately 2k of the 7k miles it now shows. This C3 Corvette is offered on dealer consignment with historical paperwork and a clean Alabama title.

1977 was the final year of the “flying buttress” rear window treatment on the C3 Corvette, and this example is finished in orange. Additional details include pop-up headlights, Corvette racing flag emblems situated above vents on the front fenders, flush door handles, a left-side mirror, removable body-color T-top roof panels, polished rocker panel trim, a rear-fender mounted antenna, and front and rear bumperettes. The selling dealer notes that a crack was repaired on the left-front fender, and it was subsequently repainted along with the front bumper.
