1975 Chevrolet Corvette

1975 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe In the years that I've been livin', a lot of things have surely changed. A lot of things have come and gone, some even came back again. But through all the many changes, some things are for sure, and you know that it's a mighty fine year, kind of makes me feel secure. Cause I love baseball, hot dogs, apple pie, and Chevrolet. They go together in the good ole USA; baseball, hot dog, apple pie, and Chevrolet. Lyrics from the 1975 Chevrolet commercial.  For consignment, a 1975 Chevrolet Corvette coupe showing 59,254 miles, but the true miles are unknown. The car was repainted its original color in 2021, and in 2022 numerous items were rebuilt or replaced including the exhaust, suspension, carburetor.  Exterior The can't miss Corvette Orange gleams brightly here with fantastic coverage and very few flaws. The long nose, raised fenders, and rearward canting windshield and fender vents makes for a pleasing profile, balanced by the subtle spoiler in back. Colored keyed T-tops lead to a wide C-pillar and flying buttresses that open up to an added luggage rack on the rear deck. Iconic quad tail lights fit in a one piece tail which is molded to accept the license plate in a clean design that many have replicated without the instant recognizability of America's sports car. 15-inch Chevrolet Rally wheels carry 225/70R15 tires for a solid, square stance. The paint and bodywork are exceptional, with some minor flaws noted as spider crack in the wing, a hairline crack at a wheel opening and at the nose, swirl marks on the rocker trim, and various chips.  Interior Woodgrain inserts dress the black plastic doors and all hardware is clean and in place. Inside, black leather bucket seats are tall and flat by today's standards but present in great condition with not so much as compression to show use. Two large gauges are set behind the standard steering wheel and include a speedometer and tachometer. The center stack gets busy with five gauges including a clock, horizontal vents, and an original, refurbished AM/FM radio. Map pockets front the passenger in lieu of a glove box, and the center console shows clean with the chrome ball shifter taking center stage and the plastics in fantastic shape. Black loop carpet is uniform and clean and also covers the rear cargo area. You'd be hard pressed to find many C3's with this clean interior.  Drivetrain The clean trend continues in the bay where the numbers matching 350ci L48 V8 resides, putting out 165 horsepower and pumping fuel through a 4-barrel carburetor.  Behind it, a numbers matching T10 4-speed manual transmission routing power to the rear wheels via 3.36 gears with Positraction.  Undercarriage This is where you'll find a lot of the 2022 work with a rebuilt suspension that includes coil springs up front and the complex rear configuration with a frame anchored differential, tubular axles drive shafts, transverse strut rods and transverse leaf springs. The power disc brakes benefit from newer pads, rotors and calipers and are found on all four wheels. Dual exhaust runs through stock style mufflers just before finding some atmosphere in the back. There's some typical surface rust underneath but conditions are clean and dry otherwise. Drive-Ability This clean vintage Corvette delivers a clean vintage ride with no hiccups in its ability to handle turns, brake on demand, and row through the gears. Low to the ground, wide, and comfortable, this is the experience thousands of Vette owners enjoy in one form or another, every day!
