Nice collection! The optional AC and 4 speed are great and desirable options on these cars.

Regards,

Two beauties! I was seriously looking at 75 roadsters before I bought my 69.

My very first corvette I drove was a silver/silver 75 that was given to a friend of mine. I was hooked instantly and although it was a low horse L48 auto, it handled like nothing else I had driven. In my garage we installed a complete VBP touring suspension and new aluminum radiator and rebuilt carb. My two buddies took that car on a cross country trip out West for two weeks and had the time of their lives. Everywhere they stopped people asked them about the 75'

Rubber bumper or chrome bumper it's still a Corvette and a great value right now. In the future who knows what prices will do. One things for sure we all wish we would have bought that xxxx year Corvette when we could have. Now it's priced out of the comfort range.
Here is my 75 Convertible 4 speed L82 Bright Blue Oxblood Leather ps pb AC 2 tops 49000 mi. Very unusual combination
