As a fellow '75 vert owner I'll give you a bump. If people only new how rare a '75 4-speed vert is. Not to mention how much fun they are. And if anyone thinks they are impractical, I've been daily driving mine for 35 years and I'm on my third engine, actually a rebuild of the original number match. You've got a beautiful car there.

Thanks for the Bump!
I agree, it's a lot of fun, and gets a lot of attention cruising down the road.
I've got too many toys and don't get to drive it too often, but until someone else appreciates it, I'll continue to love it!

Carfax only goes back to 1981, this is a 1975.
I was told by previous owner that it was original paint, with the exception of the 2 bumpers which previous owner had replaced at some point...having said that, I have had 1 self-proclaimed "corvette expert" that looked at it say that he thought it was original paint, but have also had another "expert" say he thought it had had a really good respray at some point in its history...
Currently the Gas Gauge is not working (it did for quite a while, just isn't currently).
As far as paint issues:
Not much other than a couple of small chips at the very top of the door jams from the doors. (I can email you some detailed photos if you'd like). Maybe a small rock chip here or there. The photos are very representative of the car.
I'm not a "corvette" guy, I just liked the car, so I'm going on what I've been told.
There is a Corvette "store" here called "Leo's Corvettes". He replaced a speedometer cable a year or so ago. I'm happy to take it over there if you want him to go through it (you can arrange that with him).

Or, there is a Corvette Club here, MiracleStripCorvette.com
I'm not a member, but am happy to let one of the members look it over for you if want to arrange something.

I think you need to expand your advertising or just drive it to the nearest Mecum auction. That’s a ton of car for that price that people are missing out on.
