1976 Chevrolet Corvette C3 T-Top | White with Red Interior
The 1976 Corvette C3 stands as a true icon of American automotive design, blending unmistakable style with powerful V8 performance. Representing the third generation of Corvettes (C3, produced from 1968 to 1982), this model year introduced important refinements in styling, comfort, and reliability, solidifying the Corvette's status as "America’s Sports Car."
Context of Creation
By 1976, the Corvette had evolved into a more refined and comfortable sports car while maintaining its aggressive styling and V8 heart.
Design and Features
This Corvette is finished in a beautiful and highly desirable White exterior paired with a bold and elegant Red interior—one of the most striking color combinations available for the C3. The car features the iconic T-Top roof, allowing the driver to enjoy open-air cruising while having the convenience of removable roof panels that can be securely stored in the trunk.
The pop-up headlights—a hallmark of Corvette styling—have been recently serviced and are fully operational. The flowing "coke bottle" body shape emphasize the Corvette’s dynamic design language of the era.
Inside, the cabin remains very original and well-preserved.
Mechanics and Performance
Under the hood, this Corvette retains its original 350 cubic inch V8 engine, offering strong performance and a classic American V8 rumble.
Engine Bay: Fully original and well-preserved, really good paint on the motor looking beautiful and authentic.
Transmission: Smooth-shifting automatic transmission ensures easy cruising.
Air Conditioning: All components are in place; however, the system is currently not operational and would require attention.

Wheels and Tires: Equipped with four brand-new BF Goodrich Radial T/A white-letter tires fitted to the correct factory-sized wheels, improving both grip and the classic look.

Interior: The red vinyl upholstery is vibrant and adds incredible character, with minor wear consistent with a well-preserved classic.
Driving: The car drives exceptionally well, offering a solid and enjoyable ride, characteristic of the best late C3 Corvettes.
