A 1977 Chevrolet Corvette has been listed for auction on CarDaddy.com, offering a documented example of late C3-generation American sports car engineering. This model year represents the final iteration before the Corvette’s 25th anniversary redesign in 1978, and it retains many of the design and performance features that defined the series through the mid-1970s.
According to the seller, this Corvette is equipped with a 350 cubic inch V8 engine and automatic transmission, with the vehicle reported to be in running and driving condition. The odometer shows 86,000 miles. The car features removable T-top roof panels, a hallmark of Corvette models of this period, providing a semi-convertible driving experience. Exterior photos reveal a white paint finish paired with a red interior—an original color combination that contributes to the car’s period-correct presentation.
The 1977 model year carried over the fiberglass body and coke-bottle styling that defined earlier C3 Corvettes, while incorporating several updates such as the lack of rear chrome bumpers (a feature phased out after 1974). The Corvette’s bodywork, first introduced in 1968, was refined over the years for both style and safety compliance. The 1977 edition retained the urethane bumpers introduced in the mid-1970s and continued the transition toward a more modern interior layout with improved ergonomics and available creature comforts.
The vehicle is being offered through CarDaddy’s auction interface, which allows sellers to list classic and specialty vehicles on a time-limited bidding cycle. Each listing includes photo documentation, seller-provided specifications, and basic title information. For this vehicle, the title is reported as clean, and the car is listed as being in operational condition.
Interior photos show a largely complete factory-style layout, including red bucket seats, original-style dashboard instrumentation, and center console. While the listing does not specify whether all interior electronics and gauges are currently functional, the car presents as a candidate for continued preservation, mechanical refreshment, or full cosmetic restoration depending on the buyer’s intentions. Items such as weather stripping, trim condition, and panel fit may require further inspection.
The 350 V8 engine offered in the 1977 Corvette was part of the L48 option line, commonly used throughout the Chevrolet performance vehicle family during that era. Known for its simplicity and broad parts availability, the small-block V8 remains one of the most supported platforms for parts sourcing, performance upgrades, and drivetrain servicing. The automatic transmission included with this listing was standard equipment for many Corvettes of the time, though a 4-speed manual was also offered in smaller numbers.
The Corvette’s undercarriage configuration includes independent suspension, disc brakes at all four corners, and power steering—making it relatively modern in handling for its class during the 1970s. The listing does not provide close-up photographs of the engine bay or suspension components, so buyers may consider requesting additional images or arranging an inspection during the auction window.
From a collector standpoint, the 1977 Corvette represents an accessible entry into the classic sports car segment. Production totals for this model year exceeded 49,000 units, but surviving vehicles in complete, driveable condition have become more valuable among enthusiasts seeking affordable V8-powered American cars with a strong brand identity.
The CarDaddy auction system provides basic functionality for both buyers and sellers to interact during the live bidding period. Listings remain active for a set duration, after which the highest bid is submitted to the seller for final consideration. This format allows for time-bound purchasing decisions and greater visibility for vehicles such as the 1977 Corvette.
