I love the style, but those soft bumper cars are notorious for the bumpers deteriorating into a pile of trash.
The Corvette Black Book says,
"The 1976 Corvette received a partial steel underbelly in the forward section. This was done for added rigidity and to better isolate the passenger compartment from the temperatures being created by the engines which were calibrated to run hotter (and thus more efficiently) to offset some of the emissions-related power losses."
Sounds like a money pit.
