Most appealing Corvette C3 Targa with huge 350ci (5.7) V8
engine; smart red leather interior; showing 44,981 miles
Dating from May
1976 this rather dishy looking Chevrolet Corvette is a C3, the 3rd
Generation of Corvette, and is finished in Classic White (10L) with gold
pinstripes and wears its original 15” polished slotted alloy wheels shod with
chunky Cooper Cobra M&S rubber replete with white lettering – very
chic.
Under the hood, we find the
big 350 cubic inch (5.7 litre) V8 engine in L-48 spec which meant 180bhp due to
ever increasing emissions control, this car featuring the then newly mandated
catalyst, electronic ignition and automatic
transmission.
Inside, we find a glorious
Dark Firethorn leather interior (712) which looks to be in good order as
pictured with a wonderful array of gauges and switchgear along with removable
Targa roof panels and matching red carpets.
Showing just 44,981
miles, the car has been starting promptly and running as it should with good oil
pressure as we have moved it around on site, sounding good and feeling mighty
with that big V8 under the wonderfully sculpted
bonnet.
The history file includes the
V5C showing the car was registered here in November 2017 since when its had just
three owners, the current for two years.
We did note the chassis number has been incorrectly recorded on the V5C,
1Z37L65433991 should actually be 1Z37L6S433991, a 5 appearing where it should be
an S, but this can be rectified with DVLA.
The file also includes a copy
old V5C, copy Certificate of US Title issued 2006 in Michigan State, import docs
from HMRC and sundry bills for parts purchased such as a brake caliper repair
kit, heater core, spark plugs and brake caliper piston in 2018 and pair of
engine mounts in 2017. We also note
inclusion of a few Corvette News owners club mags and a useful parts and
accessories brochure from Corvette Central.
An appealing
example in a classic colour combination offering lots of show and go for modest
outlay.
