I've been looking all over for '75 Verts. That isn't the worst on prices at dealers. Check this one out

http://www.walkthelot.com/dealer/mod...TID=&CID=&FID=

or this one

http://www.goldenclassics.com/cgi/di...il_url=L06.JPG $24,500

They are all pretty much in the ballpark.

Bright Green Metallic paint with Medium Saddle Tan interior and White soft top. Rare color (1 of 1,664 produced). Excellent newer paint, interior, top, brakes, exhaust, and tires. Optioned with factory air, power steering, power brakes, power windows, deluxe interior, tilt-n-telescopic, black vinyl auxiliary hardtop (1 of 279 produced), M-21 (1 of 1,057 produced), posi, SS brakes, A.I.R., AM/FM stereo radio, map light, luggage rack, audio alarm, tinted glass, rallys, and raised white lettered radials. Most all factory type components including the jack, jack tools, seat belts, washer system, smog system, shifter, shielding, air cleaner, and owners manual. Documented with the window sticker, build sheet, dealer invoice, warranty pamphlet, new car inspection, Chevrolet maintenance schedule, Chevrolet consumer information brochure, owners manual packet, original temporary tag, air pollution compliance certificate, and restoration/maintenance receipts. This is one of 4,629 last year convertibles produced until they reappeared in 1986. From the Bob McDorman collection! Looks, runs, and drives excellent. CC:+2 $39,995.00 SOLD
...yeah, this is an incredible amount of money for a '75 L-82 roadster, but this particular car was one of a small handful of '75 L-82 roadsters. Only 366 L-82 roadsters were ever built, along with only 2006 L-82 coupes(which I have a Silver/Silver Leather 4spd one)built. I think at one time I did a "theoretical build" number of only 10-14 cars built like this color/combo in 1975. Any time you see a true '75 L-82 car, let alone a '75 L-82 roadster, they are fairly rare. I have seen many more L-48 '75 Corvettes w/L-82 hood emblems than TRUE '75 L-82 cars over the last 15 or 16 years. Still, I remember when this same car was $29,995. I believe he got it at the Bob McDorman auction last year for $22K. $18K profit ain't too bad...

I like '75 roadsters but for that much money, I'd go chrome also.

...that's kinda exactly what I had done. Was lookin' for a '75 L-82 roadster, missed one a Carlisle about 6yrs ago. Flame Orange, Saddle Leather, 4spd, manual windows, no tilt/tele, no A/C-just like I like for $17,900. It was a stunner & headturner. Once they started getting over $20K, I pretty much lost interest and bought my Silver '68 327/350hp 4spd coupe.
