this car.
Seven Hills Motorcars is proud to offer this numbers matching 1975
Corvette Stingray in fantastic condition. This Corvette looks
excellent, runs great, and is an amazing driver. The car is totally
solid with nice lines and no rust issues. It is finished in the
beautiful color combination of Dark Red Metallic (74) over Dark Red
(192) interior. This is the correct and original color scheme as
verified by the codes on the trim tag pictured in this ad.
In addition to the correct paint and trim codes this Corvette is
completely "Numbers Matching" and almost every part we checked on
the car is correct with the proper part numbers and appropriate
date codes. We have run the numbers on literally hundreds of
Corvettes over the years and there are very few that are so correct
and original. Even very detailed parts like the intake manifold,
distributor, and carburetor are all correct and original. The last
six digits of the VIN, 433973, are stamped on the engine pad, which
is pictured in this ad, and the engine is original to the car. The
transmission is also original with the last six digits of the VIN
stamped on the main case and pictured.
This Stingray comes with dozens of receipts and service records for
maintenance and repairs dating back to the 1980's. The receipts
total over $13,000 for service over the years.
This Corvette is ready to be used and enjoyed. We have this car
priced to sell and are offering an excellent opportunity to own a
clean Corvette at an unbeatable value. One could easily buy this
car now and sell it for more than the purchase price in years to
come as the market on C3 Corvettes is very hot right now and on the
rise. Please peruse all of the photos, video, list of numbers, and
other information to get a true sense of how clean and nice this
Corvette really is.
As a side note, this Corvette is not a dealer auction vehicle. We
hand pick each car after careful inspection. Our Corvettes come
from owners who expect their car to go to someone that will give
the vehicle the same care and attention as they did. We invite and
encourage you to examine the car in person or have the car
inspected. Please take the time to scrutinize each picture. We
photograph each vehicle to the greatest extent so you can feel
confident about your purchase. If you have a question about the
Corvette, just give us a call.
Exterior
The Dark Red Metallic exterior is in fantastic condition. As one
can see in the photos the paint has a terrific gloss, deep shine,
and smooth finish. Both doors open and shut nicely. The American
Racing slotted aluminum wheels have a brilliant finish and no major
curb rash. The Goodyear Eagle raised white letter tires are
correctly sized 225/70R15 and have plenty of tread left. There are
no major blemishes that have been intentionally excluded from the
many photos. There are some very tiny imperfections around the car
that were too small to show up in the photos, but nothing else that
is really noticeable from about five or ten feet away. As one can
see in the many photos of the underside of the car, it is very
clean underneath. The frame is totally solid with no rust around
the "key hole" area in front of the rear tire and we have not seen
evidence of corrosion around the windshield or "birdcage," which
are the most prevalent areas for rust on C3 Corvettes. We have
included specific photos of the areas most prone to rust to show
how nice this car looks.
Window Date Codes
Please note that almost all of the glass on this Corvette, both
pieces of door glass and the rear window are all date coded and
original as each piece predates the car's body build date of July
3, 1975 (J03). Original glass is a good indication that this car
has had no major accident history and never sustained significant
damage.
Interior
The Dark Red interior in this Corvette is in outstanding condition.
The seats look like new with no holes, no split seams, and no wear
at all. The seat is not worn the typical spot on the bolster where
the driver gets in and out. The gauge faces are clean and crisp and
the lenses are clear. The carpet is also in great condition with no
stains, rips, holes. This includes the rear carpet which is often
neglected. The dash and console look great with no sun fading.
There are a couple of small cracks in the typical spot on the
speaker grills. The door panels are in great shape overall and the
door pulls are solid and intact. The car has a Corvette specific
radio that was made specifically for this model. Most importantly,
the dash has never been cut or modified. This Corvette has never
been smoked in; there are no burns marks and no aroma of
cigarettes.
Corvette interiors from this era are not known to wear well and the
excellent condition of this interior is a huge testament to the
meticulous care and attention this car has received throughout its
life.
Mechanical
This Corvette seems to be in very good mechanical condition. As
stated above, there are over $13,000 in receipts with the car so it
has been well maintained over the years. The car starts right away
every time, runs well, and idles smooth. It drives great on the
road and at highway speeds. In the video below one can observe the
car accelerating on the highway up to about 70mph, shifting through
all the gears, braking to stoplight, and going through some curves.
Please note that there are no strange noises or vibrations and the
car performs quite well overall. The transmission shifts smoothly
throughout the power-band. The brakes are responsive and do not
pull to one side or the other. The car runs cool and does not
overheat. This Corvette has plenty of power and is quite fast.
Also, the engine compartment is beautifully clean, detailed, and
correct as one can see in the photos.
The radio works as do all the exterior lights, interior lights,
indicators, wipers, and power windows. The blower for the a/c and
heater works on all speeds. The air conditioning itself works and
blows cold. One can observe the a/c compressor clicking on and
engaging properly in the video. The vacuum system for the
headlights works. Also, the headlights go up correctly with either
the headlight switch or vacuum override switch. Their complete
operation from both switches can be viewed in the video. All of the
gauges work with the obvious exception of the clock. The car now
has a true dual exhaust system with no catalytic converter and a
very healthy exhaust note as one can hear in the video. The horn
does not work. Not enough can be said as to how much of a pleasure
it is to drive this car, especially with the T-tops out on a
beautiful day.
Overall Condition
Overall, this 1975 Corvette is in wonderful condition. The
beautiful color combination, the extensive service history, and the
excellent overall condition make this Corvette particularly
desirable. Numbers matching is very important in Corvette pricing
and as one can see this car is very correct. There are photos below
of the VIN stamp on the engine block, suffix code, engine assembly
date, transmission VIN stamp, transmission assembly date, and
transmission casting date. This Corvette always gets a ton of
attention driving down the road. It is apparent that the vehicle
has been well taken care of by its previous owners. The prices of
C3 Corvettes have increased considerably over the past several
years. They are secure and wise investments for a collector. One
could easily enjoy this vehicle for severa...for more information
