Inspired by a concept car called the Mako Shark II, Chevy’s C3 or third-generation Corvette made some pretty big splashes when it dropped for the 1968 model year. The sleek lines of the C2 gave way to muscular styling and pumped-up haunches that made the Corvette a real muscle machine by look. Despite the C3 holding fort until 1982, which keen readers would know means that it covered the Malaise Era, the Corvette remained America’s fastest sports car available. That means a classic C3 like this 1975 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe is not only a fine American classic, but a historically significant machine. This car appears to be in excellent condition, leading us to believe that it’s been restored. If you’d like to take it on, it currently resides in Lakewood, California.
Exterior and Interior
Wearing a silver suit, this 1975 Chevrolet Corvette looks pretty potent even though its over fifty years old now. Bill Mitchell didn’t change the Mako Shark II’s looks too much, resulting in one of those rare cars that is rather similar to its concept. You’ve got pop-up headlamps, dual removable T-tops and a smooth, single-piece rear deck. One minor casualty of this is that the trunk must be accessed via the passenger compartment. The interior of this 1975 Chevrolet Corvette comes in gray and seats two adults with plenty of space. After all, the Corvette is a grand tourer, not a cramped, stripped out racer. So, the seats are upholstered in leather, the frameless doors contain some wood trim, and there’s a push-button radio in the center console. The car also has air conditioning, evidence of which can be seen under the hood with a sizable Frigidaire compressor coupled to the V8 that also lurks there.
Engine
This 1975 Chevrolet Corvette has a L48 V8 under the hood. The 350ci unit is fed via a Rochester Quadra-Jet 4-barrel carburetor. It powers the rear wheels through a 3-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic gearbox and a 3.08 rear axle ratio. The car also has front and rear independent suspension, ventilated disc brakes and recirculating ball steering. Plus, there are plenty of aftermarket avenues to get that V8 really pumping.
