So whats it worth ? It is a numbers matching, it's been repainted once. The whole front end has been rebuilt including control arm bushings and ball joints. It has SS headers and SS all the way back.

What is it worth? Hard to sell a 75 much over 7k no matter how nice. I pulled into a car show in my white 75. Bought it at auction cuz bird cage and frame were so clean. Asked a guy who sold one recently. He said 18k off the cuff. Told him I would be happy with 9k. Got 7K. Felt lucky to only lose a few hundred.

Awesome!
Welcome to the "labor of love" club. Love my classic '75, but there's always something to have to be done to them.

I picked it up for $7,500 and dropped $1,500 on a front end rebuild. As far as I can tell right now, the only thing that doesn't work is the fan motor...just one low speed. Now that's not to say some things couldn't stand to be replaced.

from one white Vette owner to another welcome and enjoy your Vette. I'v owned our 75 since 1985 from the 1st owner and it's still a fun car. Be prepared to spend some money keeping it going .
