So many new parts in this Vette. Nice paint with Nice interior with crack free dash and new carpet,just the passenger seat needs some attention.All gauges worked fine even the clock.It has after market alarm system,AC used to blow cold along with heater,new radiator new headlight canisters.This is a really nice corvette.with clean title ready to go.

I thought it had good possibilities and called a guy with a shop here-- figured it was a good candidate for a rebuild, clean up and flip.

Good luck-

I will wait a few days and if nothing happen then I will go a head and rebuild the engine and enjoy it.
Do you have the shop info, I might call them and see if they can help me out with it.

This is what I would do, throw in an engine get it all running right and put a few thousand miles on her. Why might you ask? Because you would have to be crazy to pay $7k for a 1975 vette with no motor. Just my opinion, because there are hundreds out there in similar shape, that run and drive, for less $$$

Good point.....
I just bought that L82 engine from a wrecked 75 Vette also bought the seats too.
I will plug everything in and enjoy it for a while.
