PLEASE NOTE: This lot, while being driven to the sale some 80 miles, developed a power steering leak and now has no fluid and a play/knock in the differential.

The third-generation Corvette (C3) came to market in 1968 and was continually developed until the all-new C4 model of 1984. While the engine and chassis components were mostly carried over from the C2, the interior and most striking of bodies were all new. The exterior design was a development of that penned by Larry Shinoda under the guidance of Bill Mitchell for the Mako Shark II concept car.

Chassis 430155 was manufactured in 1977, making it a final production year model for small rear window cars, and it was supplied new to the United States of America. Specified with the rare L82 option of the top power, 350 cubic-inch engine, which produced 225hp, the Corvette is finished in White paintwork with a complementary Blue leather interior. Imported into the United Kingdom in 2022 and registered ‘UAL 695R’, the C3 received a full repaint shortly after its arrival. Further enhanced mechanically, the C3 has received a new radiator and hoses, belts, water pump, fuel pump, and master cylinder, as well as attention to the power steering and brakes. The vendor notes the headlamps work as intended and the Corvette has good oil pressure. He further rates the Chevrolet as ‘excellent’ in regard to bodywork and paintwork, ‘very good’ regarding the engine, electrical equipment and gearbox, and as having ‘good’ interior trim.
