1976 Chevrolet Corvette Big Block

Description

The 1976 Chevrolet Corvette was one of the purest forms for the C3 line, but it never got the big block power from the factory that its earlier siblings did. Not only does this one rectify that with a 396ci V8, but also you get terrific features - everything from side pipes to air conditioning.

The '76 car hits the sweet spot for many C3 Stingray fans. It's one of the few years that combines the right styling elements. This means the full color matched bumper set (with a single-piece rear) that also has the smooth flying buttress-style rear end. You couldn't get all of that and a big block under the hood during the Stingray's initial run, but this one changes that. It truly gives us a look at what the '76 big block could have been. After all, they didn't just drop in an ideal motor. Instead, this also got the right exterior upgrades, like a proper big block hood and later car's front spoiler package. And of course, those side pipes are an instant attention-getter. They took these upgrades and wrapped them in a newer and glossy clearcoat respray of the car's factory-correct Buckskin tan. So you get a car with the power you really a want and a shine that fills you with pride.

The dark brown leather interior is a great complementing color to the exterior, and when it looks this good, you'll happily share the full color package with the world. That's what makes a T-top Corvette so awesome to have. And with the modern R134a refrigerant air conditioning, it's easy to have open-top fun even in the summer. This has a great feeling with high-back bucket seats, power windows, a tilt steering column, plush carpeting, and an overall clean and comfy setup. There are even nice upgrades, like cup holders and an AM/FM/CD stereo with added CD changer.

Lift the hood, and the special motor is ready to be shown off. Bright valve covers, matching air toper w/callout, and a tidy look are all part of a well-done installation. Chevy's 396 cubic-inch big block is a legendary V8 for its power, but this one has been upgraded further. You have a Holley four-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock aluminum intake, and Hooker Super Competition headers feeding those growling side pipes. This even has the right supporting components, like billet pulleys with serpentine belt and a Be Cool aluminum radiator with electric fans. The 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission is an ideal pairing, because it offers both a stout construction and smooth overdrive comfort. Power steering, four-wheel power disc brakes, and the C3's fully independent sports suspension complete this awesome diving total package.

This is the combo of power and style you've always wanted. But since there's only one of these unique machines up for grabs, you're going to want to hurry up and call today!
