This 1975 Chevrolet Corvette was purchased by the seller’s father in 1978 from the original owner and later acquired by the seller in 2014. Finished in Classic White over black vinyl upholstery, this C3 Corvette combines classic styling with reliable performance.
Under the hood, the car is powered by a 350ci V8 engine paired with a three-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission and a Positraction rear differential. The engine, equipped with a four-barrel carburetor, was factory rated at 165 horsepower and 255 lb-ft of torque, delivering a spirited driving experience.
The exterior features Classic White paint complemented by contrasting pinstripes, pop-up headlights, bright rocker moldings, fender vents, and a power antenna. Polished 15″ Rally steel wheels are mounted with older 225/70 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. Notably, the car has a convertible soft top, enhancing its appeal as a stylish open-air cruiser. The seller discloses that the vehicle was involved in a collision in 1980 affecting the left front fender and that the rear bumper was replaced in 2017. It’s worth mentioning that the headlamps require assistance to open and close.
On the inside, the cabin is appointed with black vinyl bucket seats, color-coordinating carpets, and interior trim. Features include an AM/FM stereo, heater, and map pockets for convenience. The window regulator was recently replaced in preparation for sale; however, the air conditioning and clock are currently non-functional. The seller also notes some blemishes on the right seat cover stitching and on the backs of both seat covers.
The dashboard showcases a three-spoke steering wheel framing a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 5,300-rpm redline. An analog clock and auxiliary gauges are located in the center stack. The five-digit odometer reads approximately 32,000 miles, with around 2,000 miles added by the seller. It is important to note that the odometer has rolled over once.
Braking is handled by four-wheel ventilated disc brakes, and the car is equipped with power steering for a comfortable driving experience.
This 1975 Chevrolet Corvette is now offered with the owner’s manual, service records, a car cover, and a clean Idaho title in the seller’s name — making it a well-documented and classic American sports car ready for its next chapter.
