Hi Walter.
I just purchased some "barely used" door panels for mine.... The new ones were an impulse purchase and are closer to stock. They will make the ones I have available. Are you looking for a particular color (mine is red)? They are in very good shape, they are cloth on the upper panel. I just have never really like the cloth upper panel..... Just a goofy personal preference I guess.
If you're looking for new, then Willcox Corvette had the best price for a pair that I've found. Lots of suppliers out there and some have sales.

My interior is black but I know how to dye the color...
Let me know how much...

I don't have an engine picture yet... Heres one of the inside with the wrong seats in it.
I got the original seats with the car... It took me two days to put the original seats back in. Now I have new covers coming for the seat so I'll need to remove them to install the covers... I also want to buy new door panels but WOW at $400.00 each I'm going to be looking for a while... I got the seat covers off E-bay for $110.05 normally sells for $550.00.
The carpet not in bad shape but it faded to a blue color. So first I'm going to try carpet dye.

Walter,
Send me an email to kirk.toune@yahoo.com. I'll shoot some pictures this weekend of the panels in my '75 via email. I'm certain that they will fit.

I agree with Edelbrock carb. See the mixture screws? Dead give away. I'll open a can of worms here and say that Edelbrock carburetors make good wheel chocks. I use Holley carbs to make a car run.

Grats on a very good deal indeed! I think you will find that most of us C-3 guys do a lot, if not all of our own work on these cars. Welcome to the forum!

i agree, but then no stains from float bowl leaks, or power valve blowouts. i went from a 750 edelbrock to a 750 holley with mechanical secondaries and took 3 tenths off my 1/4 time, right out of the box no tuning.
