Description of 1975 Chevrolet Corvette |
The bold red paint, extra comfortable A/C interior, and the wicked sound from the exhaust all add up to let you know this is no ordinary 1975 Chevrolet Corvette. When you get the performance small block on the road, and feel the upgraded suspension, you'll realize this is a labor of love that turned this Stingray into the perfect all-around classic.Is it sacrilegious to paint a Corvette in Viper Red? Not when it looks this good. This Stingray is so slick, it seems fast standing still. The urethane bumpers front and rear gave the C3 an appearance of one long continuous wave, and it made the '75 much more of a designer's work of art. So with an investment in the modern red, this coupe radiates power even sitting in a dark garage. But just because this was a more uniform look did not mean this one skipped out on brightwork. Those large and iconic 17-inch Cragar SS wheels give this hero a performance appearance that it backs up in the engine bay (more on that in a moment.)Pristine black leather is the perfect way to present an aggressive performance car's interior, but there's also much more going on here. Corvettes have always been a great personal sports car by providing performance features with plenty of creature comforts to make it a great long-distance cruiser. As the driver you get a three-spoke steering wheel. Just ahead of that is the large dual pod gauges for the speedo and tach, and just to the side are a full set of auxiliary readouts. Plus, you have the convenience of power windows, tilt wheel, rear defogger, and an AM/FM/cassette stereo. This is a T-top coupe so you can really let the wind run through the cabin. And on those hot summer days when the breeze is not enough, there's modern R134a air conditioning to cool keep you cool, too.Under the hood is a show-stopping V8. With the air grabber, valve covers, piping, fan shrouds, radiator, pulleys, and so much more shining like mirrors, we dare you to find another component that can be polished. But once you look beyond the shine, you'll see some serious substance, too. The 327 cubic-inch small block is a full performance build with AFR cylinder heads, performance cam, Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Performer intake, and long tube headers. The last one feeds the thundering MagnaFlow dual exhaust, so everyone knows your power superiority. But more than just a motor, it has all the right components to back it up, too. This includes an aluminum water pump and a large four-core aluminum radiator w/dual electric fans. So there's no problem being in traffic with the A/C running, and the true usability is exactly how you should view this custom Corvette. Its even been upgraded with a four-speed overdrive transmission and a Positraction rear end with versatile 3.55 gears. But take some time to look at the undercarriage photos, and there you'll understand that this one is good for much more than just highway cruising. Not only does the suspension match the red paint nicely, but also more importantly, the full Stage 3 upgrade from the suspension masters at Vette Brakes creates the perfect backroads companion. Add in slotted four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, polyurethane bushings, and the grip of modern Kumho tires, and this is a C3 that can run circles around far more modern machines.This coupe has been given all the right investments to make a beautiful, comfortable, and speedy Stingray. Something this unique and turnkey ready is going to leave us quickly. Call today!!! |
