40-Years-Family-Owned 1975 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The 1975 model year marked the end of an era for the Chevrolet Corvette, as the automaker dropped the open-top version from its lineup the following year. Of the 38,465 Corvettes built for 1975, only 4,629 — less than 12 percent — were convertibles.

This 1975 Corvette Convertible has been refinished in white, and its catalytic converters have been removed and replaced with aftermarket exhaust components. The car is powered by a 350ci L48 V8 engine with a four‑barrel carburetor, mated to a Turbo Hydra‑Matic 3-speed automatic transmission.

The car has been in the same family for 40 years, and it has been kept by the seller since 2019. This well-equipped example features leather upholstery, power windows, air conditioning, and an aftermarket audio system with an auxiliary input. It's also fitted with a color-matched hardtop.

This 1975 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is now offered at no reserve with a color-matched hardtop and a clean Pennsylvania title in the seller’s name.
