1975 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe
Fiberglass bathed in Dark Red Metallic paint is seen all over this car. A T topper roof and neoprene bumpers with hidden headlights in front, curvaceous fenders all around this coke bottle design pony car. A Daytona style hood with heat extractors has been added but has not been color matched to the body. Touch ups and cracking of the paint is seen, most prominently on the front and rear bumpers, along with some cracking of the fiberglass. Chrome trimmings are seen surrounding the glass and dividing the cockpit for the T top. A shiny stainless steel rocker trim is curving on to bridge the gap between the fenders and the doors. A cove is in the front quarter and side, this car is pre greenhouse glass, long ''flying buttress'' type B pillars supporting each side of the near vertical rear glass. 15-inch rally deep dish wheels are on all 4 corners and dual exhaust with quad tips peek out from underneath the rear bumper.
As a nice compliment to the Dark Red, Medium Saddle leather is wrapping the surfaces of the interior. High back buckets with a wood appliqué adorned center console races forward to the tan molded dash. Deep set gauges front the original steering wheel, and tan carpeting very clean floods the floors. A multitude of factory gauges, reminiscent of an airplane cockpit, are in the center of the dash and an aftermarket AM/FM stereo is mounted in the factory spot. Door panels use the wood appliqué as well as some tan carpeting that matches the floors.
Opening the hood, we see the orange GM block and valve covers of this numbers matching 350ci L48 V8 mill. It has been updated as per our consignor and presents with slight patina, but still nicely detailed and presenting. A single 4-barrel carburetor is atop, and on back a numbers matching TH400 3-speed automatic coupled with a 3.55 rear axle.
Very nicely preserved underneath with a smooth factory coating of undercoating and no rust. Full bore Corvette suspension is on, and power disc brakes show up on all 4 corners. We see dual exhaust running front to back with a catalytic converter and muffler delete.
She fired right up and on the test track it performed beautifully. Nice smooth acceleration, smooth shifting and good brakes. It handles like it's on rails and the T top option is a nice feature without having to fuss with a canvas mechanism. All functions were working well.
