this car.
Seven Hills Motorcars is glad to offer this numbers matching 1975
Corvette Stingray in excellent driver condition with only 83,925
original miles. The car looks nice, runs well, and drives great as
one can see in the video in this ad. The car is totally solid with
nice lines and no rust issues. This Stingray is finished in the
beautiful color combination of Bright Yellow (56) over Black Vinyl
(19) interior. This is also the correct and original color scheme
as verified by the codes on the trim tag pictured in this ad. This
would be a great opportunity to own a classic Corvette Stingray
that is ready to be used and enjoyed at an excellent value.
Besides the correct paint and trim codes, this Corvette is "Numbers
Matching" meaning the engine and transmission in the car are the
correct and original units that were installed in the car new at
the factory in St. Louis in February of 1975. Even detailed parts
like the distributor, carburetor, and even all of the glass are all
date coded and original. The last six digits of the VIN, 416876,
are stamped on the engine pad, 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.
We purchased this car from a long term owner who purchased the car
in 1992. He detailed and meticulous owner that kept detailed
records over the years and the car comes with a huge stack of
paperwork and a wealth of original documentation. There are dozens
of copies of previous registrations and inspections over the year,
which also help verify the original mileage. There are also many
receipts for repairs and maintenance dating back to the 1990's that
total $9000 so the car has been very maintained.
The car also comes with an NCRS shipping data report, the original
owner's manual, and a reproduction window sticker.
It is loaded with appealing options as one can see in the extensive
list of RPO codes in this ad such as the tilt/tele wheel, air
conditioning, power steering, power brakes, and power windows. The
original mileage is verified not only by the condition of the car,
but also the clear Ohio title, pictured in this ad, showing the
mileage as "Actual." Please peruse all of the photos, video, list
of RPO codes, and other information to get a true sense of this
Corvette.
As a side note, this Corvette is not a dealer auction vehicle. 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 Bright Yellow (56) exterior is in good driver condition. As one
can see in the photos the paint has a terrific gloss and deep
shine. Both doors open and shut nicely. The rally wheels have a
brilliant finish and no curb rash. Please note that this Stingray
has the correct and original 4-clip style beauty rings, not the
cheap aftermarket replacements. The raised white letter tires have
plenty of tread left and are correctly sized 225/70R15. There are
no major imperfections that have been intentionally excluded from
the many photos. There is one imperfection on the leading bottom
edge of the driver's door that is visible in the photos; there are
some small rock chips, touch-ups, and other faint 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 and has absolutely NO RUST ISSUES.
The frame is totally solid with no rust around the "key hole" area
in front of the rear tire and we have seen no evidence of corrosion
around the windshield frame or "birdcage." 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 is date
coded and original as most pieces predate the car's body build date
of February 26th, 1975 (E26). Original glass is a good indication
that this car has had no major accident history and never sustained
significant damage.
Interior
The Black Vinyl (19) interior in this Corvette is in outstanding
condition. The gauge faces are crisp and clean and the lenses are
clear. The carpet looks to be original in great shape for its age
with no major stains, rips, holes. The dash and console look great
with no cracks, fading, or sun damage. The door panels are in
fantastic condition and both door pulls are solid and intact. The
seats are in excellent shape with no split seams, holes, or
excessive wear. The seat is not overly worn in the typical spot on
the bolster where the driver gets in and out. The seat belts extend
and retract properly; this is a common problem on C3 Corvettes and
an issue many buyers do not think to check. The jack and jack
handle are still with the car, stored correctly in the compartment
behind the passenger seat. The spare is also still with the car.
This Corvette has never been smoked in and there is 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 and another great verification of the very low original
mileage.
Mechanical
This Corvette seems to be in very good mechanical condition. The
numbers matching L48 engine starts right away every time, runs
well, and idles smoothly. It drives great on the road and at
highway speeds. In the video in this ad 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 vibrations and the car performs quite
well overall. The transmission shifts very smooth throughout the
power band. The brakes are responsive and do not pull left or
right. The car runs cool and does not overheat. There is no blue
smoke when starting or driving the car. This Corvette has plenty of
power and is quite fast for its time. Also, the engine compartment
is beautifully clean, detailed, and correct as one can see in the
photos. The original upper ignition shielding and air cleaner are
still in place.
The horn works as do the exterior lights, indicators, dash lights,
power windows, wipers, radio, and blower on all speeds; even the
key buzzer works. Detailed items like the "Head Lamps" light on the
dash still work, it goes on when the headlight switch is pulled
then goes off properly when the headlight buckets are completely
raised to let the driver know they are up. The vacuum system for
the headlights works correctly. 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. The air conditioning does not blow cold, but there is
a belt on the compressor and the system seems to be compete and
intact. The car now has a true dual exhaust with no catalytic
converter and a very healthy exhaust note as one can hear in the
video. It is a pleasure to drive this Stingray, especially with the
T-tops out on a beautiful day.
