"'Here's this year's version of last year's Best All Around Car'
boasts the 1975 Corvette sales brochure. The 1975 Corvette
underwent only minor changes from the previous year's model,
keeping the best features of its predecessors and improving in
other areas. The 1975 C3 marked the last model year that a true
convertible Corvette was available for purchase until 1986."

For consignment, a 1975 Chevrolet Corvette coupe with a title
verified 10,953 actual miles. This pampered car has its numbers
matching drivetrain and was owned and maintained by a knowledgeable
Corvette enthusiast.
Due to modifications of the emissions control devices installed by
the manufacturer, please check your local, state, and federal laws
to determine if this vehicle is applicable for use on public
highways in your area.*
Exterior
Coating the curves and creases with artistry is two stage Mille
Miglia Red paint which accentuates the sinuous lines shaped by the
fiberglass, the subtle flared wheel openings, the slightly raised
hood center, and the iconic fender vents. The raise in the hood is
embellished by glossy black spears outlined in white which also
flank the cowl vents. Color matched T-tops provide the removable
roof for the car which has the classic stance on 15-inch aluminum
slot wheels and staggered width tires. Monochromatic red coverage
adorns the back of the car where the rear window resides in a deep
cove created by flying buttresses and the seamless tailpiece houses
the legendary quad tail lights. Imperfections include chips, flex
cracking, bubbling, scratches, and edge chips.
Interior
Black makes up the interior palette, with the door panels gussied
up with a woodgrain insert and some polished trim and both doors
are in great condition. Black leather bucket seats also show nicely
and the woodgrain returns between them on the center console which
houses the shifter and thumb wheels for the A/C. The black 3 spoke
steering wheel looks good and fronts the dashboard which houses a
pair of large gauges, the typical speedometer and tachometer, while
condition gauges and a clock are in the center stack in black
plastic above the AM/FM radio and all in very good condition. Black
carpet hugs the floor with Corvette branded matching mats on top
and vinyl lines the t-tops over our head.
Drivetrain
Here we have the numbers matching 350ci L48 V8, rated at 165
horsepower and fueled by a 4-barrel carburetor. It's mated to the
numbers matching T10 4-speed manual transmission and the union of
the two has lasted longer than most marriages, now 51 years! Power
is transferred to the rear axle with 3.36 gears and Positraction.
The bay presents in clean, driver quality visual condition and
includes headers, power brakes, power steering, and air
conditioning.
Undercarriage
Driver quality visuals here as well with typical surface rust but
dry conditions. The dual exhaust runs through stock style mufflers
and exits without fanfare through steel tips in back. Power disc
brakes are at all four wheels and suspension consists of 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.
Drive-Ability
This Gen-X'er fires right up and brightens the test loop with its
arrest me red coloration, exhibiting decent power, straight
tracking, and very good handling. We note the horn, radio, and A/C
are not working but all other functions onboard work as they
should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions
were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee
these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
Nearly 34,000 Corvette coupes were made in 1975 but how many retain
their original drivetrain? Is it the fastest Corvette ever
produced? Not by a long shot. Does it retain all the coolness that
could be squeezed from GM in this era? Absolutely! It's a numbers
matching looker that will be a fine addition to your collection, or
a great way to start one!
