Minimal changes for 1977 include a revised tilt / telescopic steering column for option RPO N37 with the steering wheel two inches further away from the driver resulting in more of a "extended arms" driving position. 1977 Corvettes without RPO N37 (a minority, as almost 95% of 1977s were equipped with the option) suffered with the 1976 steering wheel which was shared with the Chevrolet Vega.

Other interior changes included a revised hand brake location and a one inch longer manual transmission shift lever; this was done to eliminate occasional hand banging collisions with the hand brake during hard shifting.

The interior rear view mirror was relocated from the windshield frame to the windshield to lessen vibration in the mirror.

Very distinctive and for 1978 only: a special edition pace car was available. Approximately 6,502 were sold.
