This 1975 Chevrolet Corvette is one of 4,629 convertible examples assembled for the third-generation’s final year of production. According to the selling dealer, it was part of a collection before their recent acquisition, and its odometer currently shows 31k miles. Powered by a 350ci L82 V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission, the car is finished in Bright Blue Metallic over black leather upholstery. Equipment includes a Positraction differential, a white convertible soft top, 15″ Rally steel wheels, a Delco push-button AM/FM radio, and air conditioning. This C3 Corvette convertible is now offered in New York with two keys and a clean New Jersey title.
The car was factory-finished in Bright Blue Metallic and is equipped with a white convertible soft top. Exterior details include pop-up headlights, a fixed-mast antenna, and a left-side mirror. Photos provided in the gallery below show discoloration where the top meets the body along with clear film applied in that area.
Silver-finished 15″ Rally steel wheels with bright center covers and trim rings are mounted with reproduction GR70 Goodyear Steelgard white-letter tires that have 2012 production-date codes. Braking is handled by four-wheel ventilated discs.
The bucket seats are upholstered in black leather and are accompanied by a color-coordinated dashboard, center console, door panels, and carpets. Woodgrain trim accents the interior, which is further appointed with a Delco push-button AM/FM radio, air conditioning, Corvette-branded carpeted floor mats, and a chrome shift knob.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 5,600-rpm redline. An analog clock and gauges for fuel level, water temperature, oil pressure, and amperage are mounted in the center stack. The five-digit odometer shows 31k miles, approximately 20 of which were added under current ownership.
The optional 350ci L82 V8 is equipped with a four-barrel carburetor and was factory-rated at 205 horsepower and 255 lb-ft of torque.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a Positraction differential.
