1976 Chevrolet Corvette 5-Speed

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The 1976 model year sat near the tail end of the C3 generation's smog-strangled middle years, when factory horsepower figures had fallen well short of the marque's earlier promise — making period-correct drivetrain swaps one of the most common and most welcomed upgrades among owners seeking to recapture the driving experience the styling still promises.

This example combines the C3's late-production lines with a thoroughly modernized drivetrain. The original smog-era powerplant has been replaced with a ZZ4 crate 350ci V8 fitted with an Edelbrock carburetor and a side-pipe exhaust system, paired with a T5 five-speed manual overdrive transmission in place of the factory unit.

Finished in white over tan upholstery, this Corvette coupe has a chrome luggage rack and 15” American Racing wheels, removable T-top roof panels, power windows, and bucket seats.

This 1976 Chevrolet Corvette is now offered at no reserve with a various servicing items, multiple repair manuals, and a clean Ohio title in the seller’s name.
