Introduction
Darren Rungasamy
An arresting head-turner that oozes retro cross-pond charm.
The Corvette has been part of GM’s range for almost 70 years, firmly establishing its reputation as an American icon. Each one of the 8 distinct generations of the Corvette has its fans, but it’s widely regarded that the C3 model helped the model become the most popular sports car in the US. This third generation had a 14-year production history and offered T-top removable roof panels adding a further sense of freedom and adventure to the purposeful styling. Built during a period when regulations and emission controls diluted the appeal of most American cars, the Corvette thanks to its lightweight construction and use of composite materials offered the American public a homegrown option that still felt and drove like a sports car.
Imported into the UK in 2014, this 1977 C3 Corvette has evidence of £5,000 worth of work, the current owner bought the car as a solid project and it has seen regular mechanical and fettling over the three years of his ownership.

Hi Simon,
Finishing touches would be things like tweaking the vacuum pumps in the headlights so they pop up faster, taking a closer look at the window mechanism (its currently locked off while I see what’s causing the windows to slip on the up/down), and any cosmetic touch ups you may wish to do (see photos for paint chips etc)
Hope that helps- any more questions, feel free to ask!
Hi I’m very interested in the car, but what are a few finishing touches, thanks Simon.
