1975 Chevrolet Corvette

Description

Fun and affordable weekend adventures is a guarantee with this 1975 Chevrolet Corvette. It will keep you smiling with its T-tops, original 350 V8, and the unmistakable feeling that comes from being behind the wheel of America's sports car.

C3 Corvettes have the look of distinction, and so nobody who sees this car in your driveway will question how affordable it truly is. The original green was swapped for a distinct silver a while back. Today this much more timeless hue fits in with the modern age nicely, and it still has a good luster that comes from a professional paintjob. Speaking of modern looks, these later C3s have the urethane bumpers front and rear. This one has them molded into the body. They gave the Stingray an appearance of one long continuous wave – almost like art on wheels. But just because this was a more uniform look did not mean this one skipped out on brightwork. It just made great features like the Rally wheels became much more noticeable.

The Oxblood interior is a nice complementary color to the exterior silver. It has sophisticated look that gives this American classic an almost European tone. This is the product of another upgrade to this car, and so they added the fold-flat seats of the later C3s for better access to the rear cargo area. There are more nice features, like power windows, a tilt steering column, and an upgraded AM/FM/cassette stereo that fits in the original radio's mounting. You'll love hopping in, grabbing the three-spoke sports steering wheel, and gazing at the deep dual pod speedo and tach as you cruise around in your classic 'Vette. Another reason to own this car is the ability to take out the T-tops and let the world see the smile on your face.

The original, numbers-matching 350 cubic inch V8 is still providing the power, and it looks distinctive in the engine bay with subtly upgrades like the mesh air grabber and polished valve covers. The trusty small-block fires up on command, and its four-barrel carburetor setup delivers a throaty exhaust note. It has a great throttle response and low-end torque that's delivered in a wallop even from a standstill. These cars are ideal cruisers to enjoy anytime and anywhere. So you'll be glad to have easy driving features like the three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and four-wheel disc brakes. And of course, the Corvette's fully independent sports suspension makes it one of the best handling American cars of the '70s.

Complete with the original warranty card and owner's manual, this Corvette is proof that classic car ownership can be both affordable and exciting.
