1977 Chevrolet Corvette 2 Dr Coupe 350 review from North America

"A pleasure to own and maintain"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Here's a list of what I've done.

- Brand new v8 350 5.7L Crate Engine

- New Radiator

- Reworked wiring

- Chrome Master cylinder and caps

- Chromed alternator

- Chrome Edelbrock Air filter

- Chrome Edelbrock valve covers

- New Belts

- Mahogany Steering wheel

- New seats

- Primed & Repainted all interior Vinyl

- 3 wing Spinner chrome wheel caps

- Flowmaster exhaust

- Chrome tail pipe extensions

- Changed carpets to Black from Shale

- Woodgrain Dash

- New Headlamp assembly and bezels

- Blacked-out rallies with chrome rim.

- Tinted rear window

- Holley Carb

- Edelbrock Intake manifold.

- New Composite Rear transverse spring.

Damn, that's a lot (Not to mention the constant polishing and waxing on its black 2 clear-coat enamel paint.

Theres more but I am too tired to list everything.

General comments?

Nothing has really gone wrong with the car. That's not something you say about a 30 year old classic. It is all in terms of how much you want to invest in restoring the classic to its original beauty. I've invested about $5000 in the interior and other things. I've owned a 1999 Durango, 2003 Intrepid, 1996 Cherokee, 2000 VW Passat. BUT this classic stingray is the love of my life... Like a mistress you cannot say no to.. And a blast to drive!!

THe amount you put into it is irrelevant compared to the stares and the joy of driving a beast like this!

And that's the truth!
