...my '75 Silver/Silver L-82 coupe that I sold in March was an identical twin to yours. Was a very color combo.

...I always got positive comments at cruise-ins and such as to how neat that combo was. While not "super rare"(I've probably seen 30-40 of them in the last 20yrs or so), you don't see Silver/Silver '74/'75 cars everyday.

Thanks Paul. I like the silver interior best. Somewhat unusual. I wanted a fun older Vette that was driver quality, not a show car, and this fit the bill. I bought from a Forum member (Woodie) who has a ton of 50s/60s cars. I was pleasantly surprised what still worked on this Vette when I bought it for being 35 yrs old. While it does need some more work, I did alot of smaller mechanical fixes over the last 2 years. Never left me stranded either.

There used to be a silver 74 that I'd see sometimes in the next neighborhood over from me. While not a silver interior, it's cool that there's a similiar car to mine so close.

Why'd you sell half your fleet so recently??!!

...just didn't do as much with them as much as I used to. Only have so much time to drive so many cars. Got pretty much all the awards I could get with the Silver '68. Only drove it 1800mi in 7yrs. Had a friend that had to have the '75 Silver coupe, so I let it go too.

...been driving and enjoying the Blue '68 convertible and Orange '74 a good bit lately. Before the Silver coupes were sold, the Orange '74 was up on my BackYard Buddy for almost two years without being driven. The tires were "spiderwebbed" to the BackYard Buddy.

Still for sale? Just started looking. Wife's '92 hasn't been running well. I, in trying to fix it, (computer related) I'm over my head. An older Corvette = simpler to work on might be the way to go. I'm in Annapolis, a couple hours south of you.

...after reading posts like this and electrical & computer issues on the 1981 & up Corvettes, I don't think I could own one of these that was a "seldom driven" older classic car. I mean, when you have a pre-1981 Corvette, there is no computer or related issues to even think about.

...my Silver/Silver '75 coupe that I referred to earlier had 169,000mi on it when I sold it.

...put 63,000mi on it in 19yrs and not once left me stranded.

...even though I carried a spare HEI ignition module with the car, it had it's original dated 35yr old ignition module in the distributor.

...there's nothing like these older, simple carb, non computer cars.

Well, sorry to say the Wife put the screws to this. Her only comment was "it's a T-top". End of discussion. She will only accept a convertible.
In the time I have been looking, this is one of the nicest 1975 I have seen, and at a very, very reasonable price. And it runs, unlike her '92. Again I am sorry. Good luck on the sale.
