Mid-1970s Corvettes have been gaining more appreciation as enthusiasts look for affordable ways to get behind the wheel of America’s sports car. This , listed on eBay, is one of those cars that invites a closer look. Finished in green and equipped with an automatic transmission, it offers the classic C3 shape that has remained a favorite among Corvette fans for decades.
The listing itself is fairly brief, so much of what buyers know comes from the basic vehicle information. This Corvette is identified as a 1976 Stingray coupe with a clean title. It is powered by a V8 engine sending power to the rear wheels through an automatic transmission. The odometer is listed at 10,000 miles, though the seller does not indicate whether that figure reflects actual mileage or if the odometer has rolled over.
Air conditioning is also listed among the vehicle’s features, making it one of the factory comfort options included with the car. Beyond that, the seller does not provide additional details about the Corvette’s equipment, history, or any recent maintenance. Because the description is limited, prospective buyers will likely want to ask questions about the car’s background, mechanical condition, and service history before making any decisions. The listing does not discuss whether the Corvette has received restoration work, modifications, or repairs over the years, so those details remain unknown based on the information provided.
Even so, the 1976 model year represents an interesting chapter in Corvette history. Chevrolet continued refining the third-generation Corvette during this period, and the unmistakable styling of the C3 remains one of the defining looks of the model’s long production run. For many enthusiasts, that’s reason enough to pay attention whenever one comes up for sale.
The green exterior gives this Corvette a period-correct presence, while the coupe body style continues to be one of the most recognizable sports car designs ever produced in America. Whether someone is adding another Corvette to an existing collection or searching for their first C3, cars like this tend to draw interest simply because of what they represent.
With only limited information included in the listing, this Corvette may appeal most to buyers who enjoy asking questions, inspecting a car in person, and learning its story firsthand. Sometimes a short advertisement leaves just enough mystery to encourage a closer look.
Would this 1976 Corvette Stingray earn a place in your garage, or would you keep looking for a different year of C3?
Restoration work, LOL
I think GM called that particular shade of green “brown”
To be fair, I bought a Ram Truck a few years ago, that to me, looks brown. But when cleaned up, it is actually some kind of Olive-brown metallic color. Of course, when I first showed my wife, she said “You didn’t tell me it was BROWN!!!”
Green???
hmmm, I guess I am due for another eye appointment.
I think AI had a leading role in Ms. Puckett’s write-up.
I can smell that interior from here!
Green comes in many shades however this one trends more to the lighter side of brown. Hopefully during the subsequent refurbishment this car needs they can figure out which color pallet to go with.
Copper is the new green? I guess getting old, these kinds of things get by me. I don’t dislike copper, but I prefer green. One of those Dupont colors that change according to the angle of vision? But I think this car has been sitting longer than when that paint came out. I always disliked C3s. But they are starting to grow on me. Naturally this happens to me as the prices have been increasing!
In typical evil bay fashion it lists this car then below it shows two for sale that actually run and drive for the same money, choose wisely
please tell me she is not being paid for this write-up.
I thought I had developed a type of colorblindness until I read the comments 😬🤣 definitely brown lol
Is it a project? Definitely. Is it green? Debatable. Would I buy it? Definitely…not. Too many other C3 projects with better drive trains are out there just waiting to be restored.
That ‘green’ looks more like s**t-brindle brown…and, get yer shots before you climb inside.
From 1974 on, these things lost any ‘Corvette’ appeal. They were hot inside, hard to get in/out, and had a front overhang that disappeared from view. The only positive to say about late 70’s early 80’s vettes is they quit making them.
Best offer? $2500 and I would slap myself for weeks.
Goes nice with the Vega steering wheel.
76 Vettes are the only Vettes of that era that need special adapters to change the steering wheel… The interior was a 1 off year… Ask me how I know…
While all 76’s came with the “Vega” wheel, it also came on 77-79 Corvettes with the standard straight column. Only 77-79’s with the optional tilt/tele column got the three spoke leather wheel. The adapter kits only work with the 76 tilt column, not the 76-79 straight columns.
It’s really unfair the four spoke wheel has become known as the “Vega” wheel. It only came on the Vega GT and Cosworth, not other Vega’s. The funny thing is it also came on Camaro’s and was the optional “Sport” wheel on early 70’s Chevelle’s and El Camino’s, yet no one ever calls it a “Vega” wheel when it’s on a Camaro?
The seller may call it “green”, but it sure looks like 1976 “Dark Brown Metallic”, code 69. Brown cars may not be considered attractive today, but in 76 Dark Brown was a fairly popular color on the Corvette, finding 4500 buyers. Only red, silver and white out sold it.
My glaucoma is much worse than I thought!
Considering this Vette appears to be housed under a roof new buyer should be pleasantly surprised the T tops, firewall, and door drip channels haven’t been leaking into the car for decades, which could mean the bird cages are intact.
Vega steering wheel, base vinyl interior. Boring automatic, 180 hp, junk.
That must be that Fathom Green?
Because you can’t fathom it’s green?
Just not worth restoring
lol if you really don’t want your car to sell, leave it covered with dirt/bird poop/brown (hey, that’s green, never mind your eyesight) paint, no further detail of interest and let ‘er rip. What a waste…
Correct color aside, who really cares what color it is, the 5K being asked is laughable.
5K is… laughable says the post above. Laughable meaning what? Too low or too high?
Me thinks….5K is…could be lower…..Expect a minimum of $5K in restoration…
Ok….I’m not the only one…..green? Green is the new…brown??
