Chevrolet Corvette 1975 Description

One year only, RARE Medium Saddle Metallic Paint onDeluxe Saddle Leather Interior. 4 Speed with Lock Out Reverse Transmission. All Power Options. This car stops people in their tracks. It is a rare survivor. I have not seen another Corvette in this color combination for sale or on the road since I have owned the car.
Exterior:

• Bumpers Front and Rear very nice.
• Grill is nice as well.
• Door handles in new show condition.
• Floor Pans are very solid with zero issues.
• Overall Body fitment and lines are fantastic. Doors and clamshell open and shut flawlessly.

Interior:

• Near new Seat Covers and Foam. No flaws whatsoever.
• Carpet is very nice with no rips or tears as are the floor mats.
• Dash is original in nice condition.
• Factory Tilt / Telescopic wheel in excellent shape.
• Gauges nice working and appearance other than the clock which does not work.
• Seat belts correct and in great working condition.
• Door panels are nice with a couple of small places that you have to look for to notice.
• Windshield glass is good, Power Windows go up and down quickly. Plastic and glass in tops is nice as well.
• Dash / Courtesy lights all work as they should.
• Radio is after market Retro Sound AM/FM that looks extremely nice in the dash. Looks like it belongs. New speakers were installed in the dash with the new radio.
• Console is very nice along with the shift boot.

Suspension:

• 4 Wheel Disc Brakes stop very straight with no issues.

Drive Train:

• Engine Matching VIN 432873 Code CHA 1975 350 c.i. Stated 165 HP. The engine was rebuilt at some point and was balanced. It has a mild cam.
• Transmission is the original Warner Wide Ratio 4 speed.
• I had Dual Exhaust installed by the best muffler shop in Chattanooga with Flowmasters and Hi-Flow cats. The car sounds absolutely fantastic but not annoying. People say it sounds like a corvette should.
• The car does not drip or leak a drop of any kind of fluid whatsoever.
• The car is nearly as clean underneath as on top with correctly painted components.

Overall:

• This car is a true survivor and has to my knowledge been in the NorthAlabama, SE Tennessee area for its entire lifespan. I do not believe there is any rust in the car whatsoever.
• It has no major issues that I know of and runs and drives like a new car.
• Things like key buzzer, lock out reverse, tilt / telescopic wheel, quick headlight doors, interior lights, speedometer, all work like the day it rolled out of the showroom.
• The car starts first time every time. Get in hit the key and hit the road.

Is it perfect? No. The car is after all 41 years old. I consider myself very particular and I am much more critical of my cars than most people.
I have owned quite a few classic cars over the years but I am far from being an expert. That being said, here are known issues that I can point to:

• The clock does not work.
• The A/C does not blow cold. It barely cooled when I first got the car. I never used the AC so sometimes I went year or more before thinking to check it again and it is not cooling at all.
• The Tach runs backwards. It needs some sort of circuit panel part to repair it. It never bothered me so I have not fixed it.
• The paint has a blemish here and there. As I said at the beginning of the ad, it is a good driver quality job. I had the paint professionally buffed and waxed last year and in my opinion, she stands tall from 6 feet away. I love the color of this car. You likely won't see another one anywhere.

Why am I selling? I am selling the car to downsize the number of cars in the garage and trying to reduce the number of toys in my collection. This will make someone a great car as an investment that you can actually enjoy driving without worrying if a bird poops on the windshield while you are cruising down the road.
In my opinion, and based on what I paid for the car when I bought it, the starting price is well below what it is worth. Please do not contact me with offers lower than the starting price. This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION! Don't bid unless you plan to follow thru and complete the sale. I will require a $2000 deposit within 48 hours and you must have plans in place to pick the car up or arrange shipping pickup with 7 days. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. I have a clear Tennessee Title in my name to the car. I am not a dealer and this is my personal car. Thanks for your interest and good luck!
