1976 Chevrolet Corvette C3 T-Top | White with Red Interior

The 1976 Corvette C3 stands as a true icon of American automotive design, blending unmistakable style with powerful V8 performance. Representing the third generation of Corvettes (C3, produced from 1968 to 1982), this model year introduced important refinements in styling, comfort, and reliability, solidifying the Corvette’s status as “America’s Sports Car.”

Context of Creation
By 1976, the Corvette had evolved into a more refined and comfortable sports car while maintaining its aggressive styling and V8 heart.

Design and Features
This Corvette is finished in a beautiful and highly desirable White exterior paired with a bold and elegant Red interior—one of the most striking color combinations available for the C3. The car features the iconic T-Top roof, allowing the driver to enjoy open-air cruising while having the convenience of removable roof panels that can be securely stored in the trunk.

The pop-up headlights—a hallmark of Corvette styling—have been recently serviced and are fully operational. The flowing “coke bottle” body shape emphasize the Corvette’s dynamic design language of the era.

Inside, the cabin remains very original and well-preserved.
