I have seen 74-75 convertibles list for low teens. I my humble opinion, for a 74-75 convertible to be worth more than 20k, it better be 110% perfect with everything working, no work needed, no excuses type car. Also, usually the more options the better in my opinion.

Just opinion not knockin'
Miles or lack of is in your favor
if youre shootin for top buck try the higher end sites

G92 is very coomon code for performance rearend ratio
my 89 vette had it..but was 3.07
my 02 Silverado has it, 3.73

You have lots of competition in the high 20s LOTS of nice hot rods
For that guy who has to have your blu 75 vert youll need some patiece and time thats all
Try and get more high res pics, youtube vid. No talking or music just a nice slow walkaround/underneath let them hear the engine

Or even build a cheapie/free site for the car and link it up wherever you can with all the little details. Include the bad too...it helps a buyer know exactly what he may be getting it works.

I was at a show the other day and I tried to buy a 71 SS Camaro 4 speed with NOM motor but correct date code. We just couldn't meet on the price.

A guy next to him started showing me his 76 Vette. He was a pretty smart older fella and I am glad I spoke with him. He told me there are reasons why a car is still for sale on a Saturday afternoon of a 4 day show, and Saturday being the 3rd day.

Questions:

1. Is the car desirable? In your instance, yes.
2. Is it as desirable as other cars in its price range? In your instance, perhaps not as no metal bumpers and/or not high horse power engine.

That leaves one to come to the conclusion that regardless of its condition the car is overpriced for the competition in that price range. That isn't to say the car is not nice and is not worth that price to someone, but that someone is few and far between and it may take a while to sell it.

That being said I think it's a beautiful car and well documented. For me I would have a hard time spending that much on a lower horsepower and non metal bumper Corvette but someone may want that car for specific reasons as an emotional connection or what have you.

Your price is fair for what you have but the market is small for people who want that year car and will spend 20k+ for it.

Just my $0.02 that is probably worth even less.

I would stay firm to my price if I didn't have to sell it.

Hang on to it for awhile, reading that 68-73 cars are starting to price themselves out of the affordable market. 74-82 cars will be up and coming with hopefully a turnaround in the economy. I have a 76` i have owned for 20+ years and i refuse to sell it for less than 15000.00 and since Hagerty appraised these cars at around 8500.00, they are behind the curve with the current market. These cars are getting harder to find in decent condition. IMHO..

I'd love to hang on to the car, but I'm in need of the garage space more than anything. I know it'll go up in value since it's a such a low mileage car, has zero rust, and has the L82 engine.

It always amazes me how Vette's are a bargain compared to Mustangs and Camaros or any other muscle car....guess its like others stated smaller market.

I would paid high teens anyday for this car if I was still looking.

One thing is many Camaros, Chevelles, Mustangs, Chargers, etc. were daily drivers for decades where as most Corvettes, being as expensive as they were comapared to the previous mentioned type cars pretty much lived sheltered lives and weren't driven year round. This is one of the reasons you see a fair amount of lower mile well taken Corvette such as this one. I just turned my '74 coupe that I've owned since I was 28yrs old, half my life to 51,000miles.

Come on people. If I did't already have one I would buy this car.

1975 Convertibles 4629 cars produced of 38465 total production
L82 Option 2372 of 38465
Four speed 9992 of 38465

Do the math and this is one of about 74 1975 convertibles produced with the L82 and a 4 speed.

Bright Blue 2869 of 38465

Bright blue 1975 Convertible with L82 and four speed equals one of six.

Not to mention Z07 suspension, Very rare!

Add in low miles, great condition, documentation and owner history.

This is a collector quality RARE car. Buy this or buy a clapped out chrome bumper convertible for $20,000 and spend another 20K to get it to the condition of this car. And it still won't have all the options this one has.

If it were mine I would build another garage for it.

20 is as low as I'd go. Hang tough the only down side I see in this deal as soon as you would start driving aged components could start failing

In my opinion your car should certainly sell at your current price. Well worth it!
