Looks good,but needs engine rebuild.👍

[@Dude-qs4wi]

Aren't turn signals optional in TN? ;-)

[@tonyevans8358]

Nick you do a super job showing your cars. Please don't change a thing.. The next Grand National you get in stock is mine..lol

[@Rockzilla404]

Had one of these.. Great investment. $11;900 is more than it cost brand new! It won't lose value and you can recoup any money you put into it.. Nice car

I"ve alway"s wanted a "77" vette,cause their affordable and thats the year I graduated high school,I"ve alway"s said they never shoulda put an auto trans in a vette.Now that I"m partially disabled with bad neuropathy,I see that differently.That ride shows signs of abuse,"IMOP".I had a friend in 1977 who was in the market for a new vette,until he test drove a 77 datsun 280z,that was a ride!He bought the 280Z,not to bad mouth your vette.Those Datsun"s rusted soo bad there hard to find.I"m sure you guy"s have survived so long because of your honesty.You can"t ask for anymore than you guy"s do.I wouldn"T hesitate to by a ride from you,Sight unseen.

You need to add the stereo to the checklist! They are not cheap anymore and make a difference imo!

[@connorl7679]

Sweet ride, great price! Thanks Nick, also lol to the camera being bumped in slow-mo on the undercarriage shot :)

[@timfremstad3434]

I think that lady might be the next owner of this one

[@DashManNashCam]

Did I miss the headlights? Do they go up and down as they should?

[@artfordlowery490]

Nick 👌 thanks for sharing test drive 🚗 vett

[@Simon-hf3lw]

I just love the color it need a little work but is nothing I can fix my self plus it needs a valve job or a engine rebuild plus I don't see any rust 👍

[@georgemcdermott7115]

It is fiberglass

[@ronniemiller280]

Take it through the car wash to see if it leaks

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

👍👍

[@stevescrews447]

[@ricardoderobles9494]

Nice vette. Big 10

[@albertpendergraff5149]

That 1977 has 1976 door panels because in 1977 they where blacked out

[@albertpendergraff5149]

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@sarge4455]

You do know the arm signals for turning?

[@thud9797]

Yes but does anyone else? 😀

[@brettfox6816]

Nice car Nick just needs another motor U can hear a little lifter tap besides the smoke. But real good price for a car with good bone's just needing a new heart lQQl

[@lloydbellis7360]

Nice ride

[@Thomas63r2]

I like the yellow color and the wheel style and 4 speed - but man what a bucket of bolts! I would rename it projects galore, its a money pit for the next owner that basically needs everything.

[@ambiguous3886]

He took my (negative) comment down, the one about the leaky DANGEROUS brake calipers. He said the brakes felt 'pretty good'. C3 Corvettes with the brake light on in the dash means one thing- REPLACE ALL OF THE CALIPERS, THEY'RE SHOT!

[@Thomas63r2]

I actually really like this generation of Corvette, 1977 brings back many happy car memories for me - I graduated high school in1978. Truth be told, the third generation Corvette actually has a number of trouble areas: the brakes had corrosion issues even when new - for a daily driver I would go with an aftermarket upgrade like Wilwood. The rear trailing arms needs periodic rebuilds new bearings etc., there is a rust out prone birdcage around the windshield that is a very expensive repair. A lot of people wonder why so many of these ‘70’s Corvettes sell for low prices - it’s because the cheap ones need lots of work to make them nice. Everyone in the car business knows that they can turn into repair pigs. Also, many of them have had shoddy collision repairs - turns out the average car body shops suck at fiberglass repairs. Even with all that as a background, I still like them, fun to drive.

Good skeeter fogger

[@jonoslund4077]

That is a one year only column...just found one for about 1,200.00.

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

Dang what a steal

[@JohnnyRebKy]

Why are these corvettes so much cheaper than everything else ? Is there a reason for it ?

[@clevejason]

Death trap motors 🐬

[@DarrenPugh-r6u]

You and your little sister are of the same generation. 😂

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

She is 16 years younger than me but nice try 🤣

[@DarrenPugh-r6u]

@@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate TTHAT I DID NOT know. I stand corrected, Sir. CHEERS!!

[@JacksoNR26]

Mis fire

[@Molon_Labe61]

Nice presentation as usual Nick. That C3 would make a nice little project car. Would take some money… Keep up the great work and God bless. ✝️🇺🇸🫡
