FOR SALE:1976 BRIGHT BLUE CORVETTE STINGRAY WITH ONLY 15. 21 ORIGINAL MILES AND A 4 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. This Corvette Stingray is a very nice example of what people refer to as a barn find. The car was last registered to drive on the road in 2001 and is documented with its last registration and license plate on the car. The car was purchased in 1981 from the original owner with 6. 00 miles then driven occasionally for five years and 8. 00 plus miles before being re-titled because of marital status and last name change then driven only 1. 00 miles until 2001 before being stored. The condition of the car is very original and unaltered from stock. The car was stored in a steel pole barn with cement floor covered from 1986 to 2015 and driven approximately 1. 00 miles. The cars engine compartment is bone stock with all factory equipment still intact including chrome distributor cover. air cleaner assembly with original AC Delco Air Cleaner decal. air intake flex line. GM engine label and more. None of the engine has been cosmetically altered from stock. The motor is the original numbers matching engine along with its original numbers matching 4 speed wide-range transmission. The motor starts up with ease with functioning choke and idles extremely smooth. The engine runs great with surprising performance with its L-48 350 V8 4 barrel carb configuration. The cars interior is in great original condition from carpet to t-top headliners. The seats are the original stock Stone Gray Leather with no rips or tears. The dash is super straight with nice crisp lines. I like the gauges on this Corvette because they are still the Classic look from the early years. All of the gauges work with the exception of the tach. I will try and get that working again for you. The wood trim on the door panels and center console are in very nice condition and still bright. All of the glass is the original GM Soft Ray tinted glass and appears to have never been removed from the car. The radio is the original GM optional AM/FM Stereo and it still works. The exterior of the car is in great condition with it's nice GM Bright Blue Metallic paint as specified on the original GM window sticker and does not need to be repainted. The bumpers are original and very brittle and have begun to deteriorate. I have elected to leave them as is because is authenticates the originality of the car. I figure the next owner will install new bumpers to complete its great appearance. The body panels are super straight and deep in color on all panels. Amazing in person appearance. The headlights. brakes lights. turn signals. bright high beams and low beams all work as they should. All of the interior lights work as well. I have a decent amount of docs with the car including the original window sticker and mileage affidavit from 1986 with signature. miles. date. and State of Michigan Secretary of State RD-108. Every little bit of documentation is nice to have with this 15. 00 original mile car.
