Very Nice C3 w/ Only 29k Actual Miles! Rare Color, Numbers Match 350 V8, Auto

Description

You can have a lot of fun and get a lot of speed for not a lot of cash when you open yourself up to cars like this 1975 Chevrolet Corvette. Featuring an amazingly low 29,080 actual miles on the clock, this slick Steel Blue 2-seater is a beautifully preserved survivor with a numbers matching 350 V8 with great options and good original docs. Take a closer look, they don't get much more original than this. Code... 27 Steel Blue was the rarest color you could get in 1975 on a Corvette, further adding to the mystique of this incredibly preserved C3. From what we can tell (and the low mileage backs up the claim), the paint is all original, and it still shows very well with expected flaws evident only upon closer examination. The fiberglass underneath looks extremely good, as if this car has never seen any rough action, and the little details give it a slick look that will always stand out on this Stingray. Check out the subtle yet aggressive cowl induction hood, the solid urethane bumpers fore and aft, the luggage rack, and the cool convex taillights that give it a new look. Both the front and rear bumpers fit as well as they did from the factory and the black rubber bumper guards and front chin spoiler work to help tie it all together. The luggage rack out back is actually a useful accessory if you ever want to travel in your Corvette and T-tops give it an open-air feeling when you want it and a secure, quiet coupe when you don't. The original interior is as good as C3 Corvettes get, with handsome Code 26 Dark Blue vinyl seat upholstery, beautiful matching door panels, and a center console that are all perfect for the '70s supercar. Other good stuff is all OEM Corvette, ranging from the leather-wrapped steering wheel to the supportive seats, to options like factory A/C, power windows, cruise control, and a tilt/telescope steering column, so it's an easy place to spend some time. An AM/FM/Cassette stereo still on the console is pure 1970s cool, and yes it still works. If you had any doubts that the mileage of 29,080 is authentic, the strong original condition of the interior will immediately put those concerns to rest. Pull the T-tops off, turn on your favorite sounds, and you'll find that this cool vintage 'Vette still delivers first-class fun, just like it did when it was turning heads in 1975. The 350 cubic inch V8 is this car's original, numbers-matching engine, and with so few miles on the clock, it runs superbly. The 195HP L48 V8 was the most common powertrain for the 'Vette in 1975 and makes the kind of robust low-end torque that makes American V8 cars so much fun to drive. It's not really detailed for show, although it's still very clean under the hood and the way this 100% stock and original engine runs will make you forget all about sitting still at a car show. The TH400 3-speed automatic transmission is also the car's original, and it snaps off shifts so quickly that you'll never wish for a clutch again. The exhaust sounds great and still includes factory-style mufflers, and the chassis shows off decades of clean living someplace where snow doesn't rot the cars. Shiny factory slotted mag wheels are fitted at all four corners and give the Corvette a slightly racy stance, and they're wrapped in 225/70/15 BFGoodrich white-letter performance radials that complete the look. Documented with an original warranty card, dealer's invoice, owner's manuals, and maintenance records, this is a handsome, affordable, survivor low-mileage C3 that isn't trying too hard to be an untouchable piece of Corvette history, which is kind of refreshing to find in a rare car these days. If you've been thinking a Corvette might be the right car for you, this is a great way to find out. Call today!
