….

Please call Matt directly at 513-708-1468 with any questions about this car.

Seven Hills Motorcars is very proud to offer this completely numbers matching 1975 Corvette in outstanding condition with only 47,325 original miles. This Corvette looks stunning, runs great, and is an excellent driver; it is definitely one of the nicest and best 1975 Stingray coupes on the market right now. This Corvette is “turn key” and needs nothing. The car is totally solid with nice lines and no rust issues. It is finished in the rare and beautiful color combination of Orange Flame (70) over medium Saddle Vinyl (65). This is the correct and original color scheme as verified by the codes on the trim tag pictured in this ad. The Orange/Saddle color combination is very striking and this car gets compliments by everyone who sees it.

Besides the correct paint and trim codes this Corvette is completely "Numbers Matching" and virtually every part we checked on the car is correct with the proper part numbers and appropriate date codes. We have run the numbers on literally hundreds of Corvettes over the years and there are very few that are so correct and original. Even very detailed parts like the starter, alternator, carburetor, and even the window glass are all correct and original. The last six digits of the VIN are stamped on the engine pad, which is pictured in this ad, and the engine is original to the car. The transmission is also original with the last six digits of the VIN stamped on the main case and pictured.

Everything works, all the features operate properly, and this Corvette is ready to be used and enjoyed. We have this car priced to sell and are offering an excellent opportunity to own a very desirable Corvette at an unbeatable value. One could easily buy this car now and sell it for more than the purchase price in years to come as the market on C3 Corvettes is very hot right now and on the rise, especially for low mileage and original examples like this car.

Besides the excellent color combination this Corvette is absolutely loaded with appealing options as one can see in the extensive list of RPO codes in this ad such as air conditioning that blows cold, tilt wheel, power brakes, power steering, and power windows. The low original mileage is verified not only by the condition of the car, but also the clear Ohio title showing the mileage as "Actual." Please peruse all of the photos, video, list of numbers, and other information to get a true sense of how nice, clean, and original this Corvette really is.

As a side note, this Corvette is not a dealer auction vehicle. We hand pick each car after careful inspection. Our Corvettes come from owners who expect their car to go to someone that will give the vehicle the same care and attention as they did. We invite and encourage you to examine the car in person or have the car inspected. Please take the time to scrutinize each picture. We photograph each vehicle to the greatest extent so you can feel confident about your purchase. If you have a question about the Corvette, just give us a call.

Exterior

The Orange Flame exterior is in excellent condition. As one can see in the photos the finish has a terrific gloss, smooth finish, and deep shine. Both doors open and shut nicely. The original rally wheels have a brilliant finish and no curb rash on the beauty rings. Please note that this car still has the original 4-clip style beauty rings, not the cheaper foreign made replacements. The white letter tires have plenty of tread left and are correctly sized 225/70R15. There are some very tiny blemishes around the car that were too faint to show up in the photos, but nothing that is really noticeable from about five away. As one can see in the many photos of the underside of the car, it is very clean and this Corvette has absolutely NO RUST ISSUES. The frame is totally solid with no rust around the "key hole" area in front of the rear tire and I have seen no evidence of corrosion around the windshield, which are the two most notorious spots for rust on a C3 Corvette. We have included specific photos of the areas most prone to rust to show how nice this car looks.

Window Date Codes

Please note that ALL of the glass on this Corvette is date coded and original all pieces predate the car's body build date of February 20, 1975 (E20). Original glass is a good indication that this car has had no major accident history and never sustained significant damage.

Interior

The Medium Saddle interior in this Corvette is in outstanding condition. The seats look excellent with no excessive wear. The driver's seat is not worn in the typical area on the bolster where the driver gets in and out. Please note that these appear to be the original seats and skins, not some cheap aftermarket covers or replacements. The gauge faces are clean and crisp and the lenses are clear. The carpet is also in good condition with no stains. This includes the rear carpet which is often neglected. There is just a small amount of wear under the driver's floor mat. The dash and console look awesome with no cracks or sun fading. The door panels are in great shape overall and, unlike many Corvettes of this age, they fit well and tight to the door. The door pulls are solid and intact. The jack and jack handle are still with the car, stored correctly behind the passenger seat. The original spare is still with the car. This Corvette has never been smoked in; there are no burns marks and no aroma of cigarettes.

Corvette interiors from this era are not known to wear well and the excellent condition of this original interior is a huge testament to the meticulous care and attention this car has received throughout its life and another great verification of the very low original mileage.

Mechanical

This Corvette seems to be in excellent mechanical condition. The car starts right away every time, runs well, and idles smooth. It drives great on the road and at highway speeds. In the video below one can observe the car accelerating on the highway up to about 70mph, shifting through all the gears, braking to stoplight, and going through some curves. Please note that there are no strange noises or vibrations and the car performs quite well overall. This Corvette has plenty of power and is quite fast. The brakes do not pull to one side or the other. The transmission shifts smoothly throughout the power band. The car runs cool and does not overheat. There is no blue smoke when starting or driving the car. Also, the engine compartment is beautifully clean, detailed, correct and complete as one can see in the photos. Even the ignition shielding, original air cleaner, and original valve covers are still in place.

Everything on this Corvettes works; the radio works as do all the exterior lights, interior lights, indicators, horn, wipers, power windows, and even the key buzzer. Also very detailed items like the “door ajar” light and “seat belt” light even work. The blower works on all speeds and the a/c also works and blows cold. One can observe the a/c compressor clicking on and engaging properly in the video. All of the gauges work and even the clock runs. The vacuum system for the headlights works correctly. The headlights go up quickly, evenly, and with no binding in the mechanism. Also, the headlights go up correctly with either the headlight switch or vacuum override switch. There complete operation form both switches can be viewed in the video. The car has a newer stainless steel exhaust system with a healthy exhaust note. Not enough can be said as to how much of a pleasure it is to drive this car, especially with the T-tops out on a beautiful day.

Overall Condition



Overall, this 1975 Corvette is in excellent condition. The originality, the very low miles, the very rare and desirable color combination, the great options, and the excellent overall condition make this car especially important and hard to duplicate. Numbers matching is very important in the Corvette market and in Corvette pricing and as one can see this car is very correct. This car is remarkably correct and original and there are photos below of the VIN stamp on the engine block, suffix code, engine assembly date, transmission VIN stamp, and transmission date code. This Corvette always gets a ton of attention driving down the road. It is apparent that the vehicle has been well taken care of by its previous owners. The prices of C3 Corvettes have increased considerably over the past several years. They are secure and wise investments for a collector. One could easily enjoy this vehicle for several years and sell it for more than the purchase price with minimal effort.
