Chevrolet Corvette 1977 Convertible
Chevrolet Corvette 1977 Convertible.
The car is a 1977 Corvette that was purchased by Frank the owner in 1977 from Palmyra Motors, Palmyra, NY.
As some of you know that there were no convertibles built between 1975 to 1983. The car was a T-top car that was converted to a convertible with the experienced hands at The Fiberglass Body, Hawthorne, CA. It has a fiberglass front bumper and a 1981 fiberglass rear bumper. A 1979 Pace Car front spoiler. The convertible top parts are from 1968-1975 donor cars. All the emblems were removed and filled. All the body work was completed at The Fiberglass Body. The final bodywork and paint was done by the California Body Works, Hawthorne, CA. Black primer and block sanded. Epoxy black primer and block sanded. Final black paint and clear coated. Color sanded and buffed. I did most of the mechanical and all of the electrical work on the car.
