2025 c3 ('74-'82) of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
Default Factory Assembly Manual

Ordered a 1975 Corvette Factory Assembly Manual. When looking through the pages, it looks like all the diagrams are for C2s. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Weird!

My 1976 manual doesn’t seem to have anything with a C2 on it.

Maybe a misprint of the cover?

It should be pure C3. Return it.
A bunch of pages that do not pertain to your year are worthless.

I think Corvette Central sells them in a hard cover for less than $28.

With a listing for a rear blower motor for ventilation under F, that page is from a 65. No doubt a midyear. I agree, send it back.
