Where is the hood latch on a 77 Corvette?

On a 1977 Corvette, the hood latch is located underneath the front of the car, near the center. You won't see it from the top. To release it, you'll need to reach under the front bumper area (likely requiring you to lie down or get underneath the car) and locate a release lever or cable. The exact location and mechanism may vary slightly depending on specific model options or modifications, but it's consistently in that general area.
