75 Stingray information
I have a 1975 Stingray that I have had for over 20 years and have just renewed my interest in it. I find I will need to replace quite a few things. My question is, is there a site I can go to to find out more about my specific car, engine, etc., by placing a vin number and getting the info.
Any information will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Tim.

Man,I think that's the nicest 75 I've ever seen.
Mine is a coupe.It was originally silver,but now it's more like a charcoal.Maybe someday I'll put it back to silver.

I agree! I don't know why Corvette didn't have it from the factory....it just looks "unfinished". I got the cover from Ecklers for about $49. You just put your windshield wipers in the "up" position and it just slides down to the area. To ensure that it would stay in place, I used some small stainless steel screws to anchor it down. I had the lettering done at a local sign shop...it's vinyl letters and they charged me about $10.00.....make sure they follow the slight curve of the cover....
Good Luck!
P.S. You can have it painted to match your car....I have one that matches that I use strickly for shows....

I'm a '75 owner too! Mine's still "under-construction" in the garage.
I've found a lot of info from this forum, and also from corvettefaq.com(http://wiki.corvettefaq.com/index.php?title=Main_Page) . Best bet is to buy the Chevrolet Service Assembly Manual for your Vette. It's got diagrams on everything.
If you order a free CD Catalog from http://keenparts.com/ you get great diagrams of all the major parts for Vettes. Their website also has the diagrams.
1975 Specs:

VIN: http://www.vettesite.com/vin.asp
I have the email address of an electrical engineer who supplies some awsome color wiring diagrams of Corvettes. I got mine from him for around $25.00.
