1977 Corvette: No Longer a Stingray
The "Stingray" emblem was replaced by a crossed flags emblem starting in 1977.
Right, bottom to top: 1977 to 1982 Corvette line up. These were tough years for the Corvette - and all car manufacturers - as smog regulations had sapped much of the performance (and some say soul) of America's sports car. For this reason, the mid '70s to early '80s are not considered to be premier collectables by the Corvette community. But there is an upside to the situation. If you're looking to make a Corvette part of your life and your budget cannot accommodate one of the blue chip 'vettes, there is hope. Corvettes of this vintage do have a lot to offer at very reasonable prices.

Great Information. Thank you very much.
I've owned 6 C3 Corvettes since 1974.
Back then you couldn't find much info or parts unless you drove or called every scrapyard in the Country.
Rebuilding and restoring is a breeze these days.
