Up for auction is a 1976 Corvette Stingray Coupe. It's an L-82, numbers matching. It is owned by a close friend, who doesn't have an ebay account. It use to be long to my best friend since 2006. Tony bought it just before his passing in 2011. It originally was bought new in Oklahoma, then sold in Arkansas. Where it resided till 2006, when My best friend Bob brought it to Missouri. It's been here since then.
This numbers matching Corvette Coupe has never been wrecked, and has only repaint, in 2008. The carpets were replaced in 2009, and the luggage rack was added at the same time. Floor mats were bought during the same time period.
The engine is an L-82, that burns no oil and runs very strong. Transmission does not leak or have any problems. The trailing arms were rebuilt in 2010, and all front bushings were replaced then as well. It now, as of 2010, has a new 3 row aluminum radiator. and all new hoses. The clock doesn't work. The radio works, but to perform better, it needs modern guts put inside. Air Conditioning will work, but leaks out in about a week. I think it is O-rings, from sitting so much.
The wheels and tires came off another 76 Corvette Tony sold. They wanted the rally wheel combo, so he switched. Tires have about 80% tread. And there is a key for the wheel locks.
Tony just, in the past 2 weeks had the ignition system worked on. All new plugs and wires were put on, because the chrome headers would burn them up. He also at the same time replaced the headers for factory exhaust manifolds. And reduced the exhaust tubes back to 2 and a half inch, back to factory size. A new over flow bottle was installed as well. Old one leaked real bad.
I have driven this car on several occasions, and can tell you that it is a joy to drive. I have placed it in several car shows as well. It shows that nice.
Now the bad. It has a small oil leak from the rear main seal, and it sits way too long in Tony's shed. Basicly driven when I get a chance. He enjoys his C5 more.
This classic C3 Corvette Coupe needs a home where some one will enjoy it, and maintain it. Every time I drive it, people give thumbs up, or comments how how cool it looks. If you like to brag, then this is the Corvette for you. Every one wants to ask questions when it parked.
I think I have covered everything about this car. If there are any questions, just e-mail me, and I will answer your questions or concerns. Thank you and good luck

GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC
Sun, 06 Oct 2013American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.
Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes
Tue, 28 Aug 2012
Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.
Fewer than 1 in 3 Chevy dealers earn right to initially sell C7 Corvette
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Looking to make the launch of the 2014 Corvette Stingray as efficient as possible, Chevrolet will be limiting the numbers of its dealers that can sell the all-new coupe and convertible. According to Automotive News, sales of the C7 Corvette will initially be limited to less than a third of Chevy's total dealership network when the 'Vette goes on sale this summer.
Only 900 dealers out of more than 3,000 locations nationwide will be allowed to sell the new Corvette at first, and the reason for this is so that there are no shortages at dealers that can actually get the cars sold. The article says that the 900 dealerships chosen represented 80 percent of total Corvette sales in 2012.
Some of the requirements dealers had to make to get initial allocation of Stingray sales include having sold at least four Corvettes in 2012 and having a Corvette Stingray specialist who will be required to have gone through a training session costing more than $2,000 per attendee. Once demand for the 2014 Corvette Stingray begins to subside - approximately six to nine months after it goes on sale - then allocation could open up to more dealers, but the report indicates this could happen following the 2014 model year.
