1976 was the last year of the Stingray badge. It was also the year with the least horsepower, next to the 1975 models. That was rectified by the previous owner who dropped in a 350 HP GM crate engine. The original intake and carb were installed for an authentic look.
   
 
The C3 body style is iconic. Everybody knows they're looking at a Corvette. 'C3' refers to the body style from 1968 to 1982. The first Corvettes (`53-`62) were C1's and the 1963 to 1967 models were C2's. The latest generation is the C6. Rumors abound about a C7 Corvette but it has yet to be unveiled.
As far as I know the car has only been entered in one judged competition. It was put in the custom class due to the new crate engine. And the result was..
