cover for 1975 vette

I need a cover for my corvette that will be stored outside. Can any one suggest a good cover. Needs to be waterproof and breathable. The T tops seals leak and I dont want any water into the car.

All the vendors carry the covers. You want water repellant and breathable. My two are by Wolf, but others are also good.

Jay, I purchased this cover for my 79 this summer. My car is parked in my driveway for the winter (no garage or carport) and currently has 12" of snow on it. I have used it now for over 6 months and in my yard with 10 different types of trees ranging from maples to cedars it always keeps the tree sap/crap off the car. Rain hasn't affected it at all, car remains completely dry - and the cover dries very quickly after a rain shower. Highly recommend this cover, regardless of what climate you live in.

Lock it Down

I had a cover and neglected to secure it down with only bungie cords. I came home one day and found that the cord came loose and it spent the day scratching my roof.

briankeery nice cover how long did it take to have it shipped. looks like its coming from France. $40.00 dollars is nice and additional $40 in shipping. still less than local companies. Is it formed to the Vette body?

Jay, the cover is shipped from California, it cost me $40 for shipping because it was sent to Canada. I don't know where you are, but if you live State side, it's only like $15 for shipping - just check off your country in the shipping tab for rates. Us poor guys up north get reamed by shipping costs for all the great parts we see listed with all the Corvette vendors down south. Even with the dollar at par, customs usually reams us pretty good.....you really have to love your car to want to restore north of the border. As for the cover it is form fitted to your particular model year - so your cover would be slightly different than mine to compensate for my rear glass. I ran a 36" bungy cord under the car in winter to secure it to the 2 eye-loops on each side, and it's totally solid - -no movement at all. A lot cheaper than building a carport right now!!!!!!
