Original and desirability can still be in an affordable classic if you look hard enough. This 1975 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible offers its original color combo, great features like factory A/C, two tops, and the original numbers-matching 350 V8 under the hood. Above all, this has the swoop good looks that made you fall in love decades ago on this final-year convertible, and it's all available for the price of an economy car.Mille Miglia Red is one of those colors that truly lives up to its name. Classy, sporty, and just perfect for a Stingray - it has plenty of gloss and shine to attract attention on a sunny day drive thanks to a professional respray of the code-76 color. 1975 was not only the final year for C3 convertibles, but it also is the first year of the single piece rear end and an updated front fascia. So this car has a unique style that will always be in demand. These later C3s make less use of chrome and allow the bodylines to have a cool seamless appearance. That means to get a proper '75, you're looking for paint and panels as good as this one. But even with all of this bright red, it cannot be a true American classic without some brightwork. That's reserved for places like the rocker panels, luggage rack, and of course, the iconic Rally wheels.If you're going to have a bold red convertible, make sure the interior is the best complementing color around a deep rich black. This drop top has been kept original and pristine with all the features you love, including the bucket seats, power windows, three-spoke sports steering wheel, and tilt column. The main gauges are laid out directly in front of you in a sporty and deep dual pod setup, and the full auxiliary gauge cluster is mounted prominently to the side. The original radio is still in place to keep this looking factory-correct, but your real entertainment comes via rear mounted AM/FM/CD stereo that you control with a remote. There's even provisions for the factory air conditioning. But beyond just the A/C, this is a true all-weather friend thanks to the choice between the removable hardtop that matches the exterior red or the folding roof that matches the interior black.The engine is the original, numbers-matching L48 350 cubic inch V8. It appears stock right down to Chevy orange paint on the block, correct gaskets on the air cleaner assembly, and even the GM Goodwrench sticker on the air pan. But look closer, and you can see the belts, wires, and hoses have all received proper care over the years. So it's an engine bay that's highly detailed for originality but still very functional making this Corvette the ideal balance of show and go. The motor fires up with ease, and the TH400 three-speed automatic was intended for any heavy-duty use the Corvette could throw at it. And that's what you want in a Corvette like this. It was built to be driven with a fully independent sport-tuned suspension, power steering, and four-wheel disc brakes. And only averaging about 2,300 miles per year (believed to be), this vintage 'Vette has spent its life being more about weekend getaway fun and less about being someone's daily driver.Corvettes provide instant distinction. It's pure sports driving pleasure wrapped in a proud American heritage. And if you're quick enough, this turnkey classic V8 convertible can be yours for less than the price of a Miata. Call today!!!
