Default 1975 steel blue metallic one owner f.s. 17k on it

Ordered this car new with Don Yenko(personally). 1975 Corvette convertible. The car was repainted 3 times at the dealer before delivery due to scorching problems with the metallic. The color was discontinued as a result of these problems. Therefore, there are only about 300 convertibles with this coolr. The car has silver interior and a new white top. The car was stripped and painted about 2 years ago. The paint job was about 10 grand. All the gaps were fixed and realigned. The seats were redone due to foam breakdown and a tear. It has 76 aluminum wheels on it with eagle st tires. I have a complete set of the correct wheels and tires too. However, the price is for the way the car sits. The correct wheels and tires will be an additional 5 grand. The tires are worth over a thousand a piece and I have 5. This a non a/c car and is a 4 speed. I know the valve covers are incorrect. I have the originals on the shelf. Car has true dual exhaust. I have the original catalytic converter somewhere but that car is so much better with the new duals. Car is not a bloomington car but is extremely nice considering the engine has never been touched. 29,999.00 for the car the way it sits. Allan 412-969-1239 For those who showed interest prior to pictures, my computer crashed and I lost your e-mails--sorry

Looks like a nice car.

Since someone's sure to ask, I'll note that you're near Pittsburgh, PA.

Good luck with the sale.

yes, the engine could use a detail. However, atleast you know it has not been touched other than the valve covers which is no biggie and yes, I am 30-40 minutes from Pittsburgh

Wow I am shocked . an expert in Corvettes especially 75 models did not notice that this car Just came out of the bodyshop complete with overspay and paint dust under hood and looking at the door jambs not much taping much less removing parts to paint . Also that the bumpers are fiberglass? Sorry to hijack your thread , you have a very nice car with a rare color and I wish you luck with your sale .
