#ProjectSR76 – 1976 Stingray Add-Ons

It’s clear that the build sheet/inventory sheet is not available for #ProjectSR76.

With some inquiries on FaceBook I found free downloads of Corvette Brochure for 1976. 

Thanks to:

GM Heritage Center

https://www.gmheritagecenter.com

For providing the downloads.

 

There’s a section called “What You Can Add” which list all the option available.

Here’s a screen shot:

 

I put together a list as the car exists now.  Here are the Add-Ons:

Power breaks
Power Steering
Power Windows
Four Season A/c
Tilt-Telescoping steering
AM/FM (two types – don’t know which one- there’s an old Walmart AM/FM cassette crammed in it’s place)
Two rear speakers
Fixed Height Antenna
4 Speed Wide Ratio Trans*
wheels are 15″x8″
Anti-theft alarm
Luggage carrier
Dual Horns

I don’t know how identify the Gymkhana suspension. The description is above, but that’s really no help. I’m assuming it was the forerunner to the Z51 but that’s just a guess.

I know it started out with the L48 – which has been modified.  I can check for numbers matching – if that was a thing for Corvette.

The wheels, if original, are steel with wide chrome rings and center caps.

I’ll continue looking for a supplier of the window sticker/build sheet.

Coming up next will be a engine inspection then I start building the list of restoration/issues to fix – THAT’S WHEN THE FUN BEGINS

Thanks for checking in!

    I am almost 100% certain that a L48 specified car would NOT have the Gymkhana suspension. Most dealerships used L48 cars as part of the ‘floorplan’ corvettes and ordered them optioned light for quick sales.

    • Tim Sweet says:

      From what I can tell it was an option that could be ordered with either engine, L48 or L82. But I don’t think they are were many (if any) in L48, it just wasn’t going to go to the track like the L82 with 210+ hp and the close-ratio trans (mine should be wide ration). I trying to fine some experts on the late C3 when. Not to many have that knowledge.

Let me hear from you!!! Drop a note!!
