**Affectionately dubbed 'America’s sports car,' the Chevrolet Corvette maintains a unique and special position in automotive history.**

The 3rd generation Corvette, known as the C3, embodies the model's celebrated longevity and status as an enduring American sports car icon. Initially designed to challenge European rivals, the first Corvette revolutionized American design with its bold fiberglass body, stylish appearance, and affordability.

The 1977 model year, the last to feature the distinctive rear buttress wings, also introduced one-piece bumpers. Key improvements within the cabin cemented its role as a refined touring sports car, with power steering and power brakes becoming standard, alongside options like body-coloured sport mirrors and cruise control. Powered by the reliable and versatile small block 350 cu in (5.7L) V8, it is known for its widespread parts availability and ease of modification.

The C3 generation of Corvette Stingray is arguably one of the most attractive and attainable. Coming from \~4.5 years with our vendor, this Corvette is finished in silver metallic with grey leather seats, it is a rare find featuring the manual transmission gearbox and has benefitted from a historic US restoration. It comes with a current V5 and is both MOT and road tax exempt.
