Used 1976 Chevrolet Corvette for Sale near Toronto, ON

me and my grandpa bought this vette and restored it ourselves. overall it took us around a year or so to do the whole car. we striprd all the paint and added fibrglass front and rear bumpers. we painted the car orange flame, which is a factory color for this model vette. we built a 350 engine for the car. the motor has been bored, and has roller rocker arms, larger valves in the heads, and we put a big cam in it to. the car runs good, but the automatic trans and the 3.08 rear end gears dont give it the acceleration it needs.

I currently own my 2nd '76 Vette. I wish I'd kept my first, but I am contented with the one I have now. Probably the best thing about these cars is how easy they are to fix. A Haynes manual and an assembly book cover most of what goes wrong. I think most people expect the car to last by doing nothing, but a little maintenance every once in awhile goes a long way. There are three things (IMHO) that you should keep working, no matter what: the headlight operation, the gauges, and most importantly, the A/C. Aside from the styling, these are the most unique parts of the car. Nearly every muscle car of this era struggles with interior comfort, but the Corvette AC unit does as good a job as most current vehicles. Most parts and maintenance items are on the shelf, and eBay keeps hard-to-find items available if not found locally. Lastly, I like these cars for DRIVING, not storing. I laugh when I go to a car show and see trailer queens being rolled out. I realize and respect cars of such caliber, but they're not for me. Give me a ground-pounding, rail-cornering 'Vette any day and you'll have people staring as much as any showroom quality model.

It was soooo fast and fun! I loved my first car and it was a shame I had to sell it.. It was great looking and performed awesome!

T-tops and posi rear. Tightly rebuilt engine and trans. Power steering. Orange flame color. Superb handling. She is alot of fun and gets alot of attention. Being not a show car she is more practical and more usable. Awesome GO GM!

Whats there not to like ? Power, reputation and tons of eye candy.. fun to drive just cruising around. The best part is the little kids that you pass on the street that are used to seeing the same boxy soccer mom haulers drive by.
