It now has a replacement Chevrolet ZZ4 350 cubic inch engine in it.
Chevrolet built 38,465 Corvettes with only about 2,372 L82 Corvettes being built for 1975, add into it the option codes of this 1975, such as the M21 close-ratio Muncie four-speed manual or the Oxblood interior, it becomes even more rare.
But power and production numbers are not what make this ’75 worth a second look. This Corvette is truly a survivor example that has had a fender-bender, with damage shown in the pictures, but is all there and can be restored to its former glory by the next owner.
It was always a fun and affordable Corvette for weekend adventures and will keep the new owner smiling with its T-tops, 350 cubic inch V8 engine, and the unmistakable feeling that comes from being behind the wheel of America's sports car.
Mechanical
Our Corvette is powered by the great replacement Chevrolet ZZ4 350 cubic inch engine in it that has more horsepower and torque than the original and has black finned valve covers, four-barrel carb on an aluminum intake, original twin-snorkel open element air cleaner, breakerless electronic ignition system known as HEI (High Energy Ignition), power steering, power 4-wheel disc brakes, and most other factory original parts,
It has a great throttle response and low-end torque with the throaty exhaust note routed through the dual pipes and backed by the standard Wide-Ratio 4-Speed Manual Transmission.
This wide-ratio 4-Speed is a good choice for normal driving, which includes a lot of stop-and-go. The high first-gear ratio (2.64 to one) gets you off the mark smartly, and wide intermediate ratios provide good torque-matching at low and intermediate speeds. Moreover, there is a nice, crisp shift action with all gears fully synchronized.
The Corvette's fully independent sports suspension made it one of the best handling American cars of the '70s as it rides on the chrome factory slotted Corvette mag wheels and fitted at all four corners with black wall tires.
Interior
The Deluxe Corvette factory original Oxblood interior is in good condition and comes with matching wood grain paneled door panels, red carpeting and seat belts, red rear cargo area carpet, and features, like a tilt steering column, and an upgraded AM/FM/cassette stereo that fits in the original radio's mounting, three-spoke factory sports steering wheel, dual pod speedometer and tach, and the ability to take out the T-tops and let the sun shine in and light up the smile on your face.
The instruments and controls include a hand brake, lighter and ashtray, a no nonsense speedometer, trip odometer and matching tach, auxiliary instruments are on a separate panel over the console- fuel, clock with sweep-second hand, oil pressure and amps, plus reminder lights for seat belts, door ajar and headlight doors.
