By 1975, the C3 or third-generation 'Vette had been around for seven years, and some updates were in line. These came in the shape of electronic ignition and some exterior updates. On the inside, too, were a few updates, such as an electronically driven tachometer. Despite being the height of the Malaise Era, the Corvette was still one of the quickest cars around at the time. This 1975 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe is a fine example of America's best under trying times, and with just 40,000 miles on the clock, a rare low-mileage example to boot.

Exterior and Interior

The mid-gray paint job on this 1975 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe sees some interesting white graphics along the sides, bolstered by meaty Cooper Cobra Radial T/A tires wrapped around five-spoke alloys. Look closer, and you can appreciate the muscular haunches, pop-up headlamps, and the aftermarket luggage rack on this car. The seller reports that blue undercarriage lighting has been installed for visual theatrics when night falls. At the rear, a set of quad exhausts allow the V8 to roar away into the distance. To enter the cabin of this 'Vette, simply open a frameless door and step in. The interior of this 1975 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe features a color theme called silver and seats two occupants. It's a pure Seventies cabin with some wood trim on the center console, and the current owner reports an aftermarket stereo system is in place. We can see this as a Kenwood unit with USB, AUX, iPod, and CD playback capabilities, vastly improving in-car entertainment opportunities on this 'Vette. We also observe the climate control dials just ahead of the automatic gear shifter. Stringray-embossed floor mats complete the interior outlook, and it overall appears in great shape for its age.

Engine

This 1975 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe comes with a 350ci (5.7L) L82 fuel injected V8 that was said to develop 205hp when new. This 'Vette has received Fitech aftermarket fuel injection for improved reliability, and there's said to be all new wiring too. Power goes to the rear wheels via an automatic transmission.
