1975 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The 1975 model year marked a notable transition point for the Chevrolet Corvette, as tightening emissions standards and the arrival of catalytic converters were reshaping the performance landscape across the industry.

It also marked the end of an era, as the following year Chevrolet dropped the open-top version from its lineup. Of the 38,465 Corvettes built for '75, only 4,629 — less than 12 percent — were convertibles.

This 1975 drop-top is finished in white over a dark red interior, and its high-back bucket seats have been reupholstered in leather. The Corvette’s L48 350ci V8 engine is mated to a three-speed automatic transmission, and convertible also wears an aftermarket cowl-induction hood.

Additional features include an aftermarket cowl-induction hood, pop-up headlights, 15” steel wheels with chrome rings and hubcaps, dual exhaust, independent front and rear suspension, power steering and power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes, tachometer, and a classic style head unit with AUX and aftermarket speakers installed behind the seats.

This 1975 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is now offered at no reserve by the seller on behalf of the current owner with a clean Michigan title in the current owner's name.
