Default 1975 Corvette Convertible in Florida $ 24,500

L-48 Corvette convertible with 65,000 miles. I have owned this car since 2006. PS, PB, PW, Tilt/Tele, automatic transmission.

Matching number engine with original block, intake, heads, carb. The only motor work has been new valve stem seals in 2017, and a rebuilt carburetor in 2015. Comes with a spare carburetor, correct for this car.

The car has aluminum, L-82 valve covers on it. The original steel valve covers are included.

Original transmission, rebuilt in 2015.

The paint is beautiful. No stone chips. The original paint was meticulously removed by razor and without chemical stripper. Fiberglass end caps.

Five YJ8 wheels with BF Goodrich tires. Spare tire lock's key matches door and rear deck compartment locks.

This is a beautiful car with some original parts replaced with aftermarket, such as:

This is a factory air car. The original A/C system was replaced with a professionally installed Vintage Air system in 2015. Aluminum radiator with dual electric Spal fans.

Now has windshield defrost, and blows very cold. Very comfortable in the hottest summer days in Florida.

Upgraded to CS130, 105A alternator in 2008, plus new engine bay harness by Lectric Limited. The original alternator is included.

QA-1 coil over shocks in front. KYB gas shocks in rear. Vette Brakes composite 300# mono rear spring.

Al Knock convertible top and carpet. Corvette America door panels.

Pioneer stereo with USB, bluetooth and hands free phone. Aftermarket power antenna.

$24,500.

Very nice. Is your front bumper original urethane?

Hello,
I replaced both the front and rear bumpers with Eckler's fiberglass parts. It was a tough decision, wanting to keep the original parts on. But, the original front bumper was a bit wavy, and, the rear bumper seemed to shrink a little bit around the tail light openings. Since I was spending $ 9,500 into the paint job, I asked the shop to add the new bumpers so that the lines would be perfect and the waviness would be gone. Here is a photo of the old front bumper:

So you didn't use the TrueFlex brand you went with straight fiberglass?

Hello,
Actually, we did try one for the rear. For my car, I was not happy with the amount of bodywork needed to make it fit. What works for one car, may not work for another. It's a matter of your preference, I suppose

. When the Eckler's rear bumper fit perfectly with no work at all, we decided to use the same company to supply the front bumper.

Hello,
I am sorry; but no, the car just sold for $ 18,000. I will be removing it from the site tonight. The buyer is from Germany, and he will be shipping the car over there very soon.
Thank you for the inquiry, tho.
