1973-1975 Convertible
I am looking for a mostly original car that is road worthy without doing a lot of work to it. Must be number matching and it is better if it is a 4 speed. I am not looking to pay top dollar but I don't expect to steal it from your either.

Numbers matching 350 4 speed. PS, PB, PW, A/C (no compressor), deluxe leather interior. Originally Orange, complete repaint in Red.
Restoration done in 1993, engine freshened with rebuild in 1994. Car has 86000 + original miles on it. The top is in excellent condition, the rear window is nice and clear.
I have documentation from the late 80's through mid 90's of all the work that was done to the car. There are numerous pictures showing the body taken down for a total color change. Also some old pictures of when the engine was freshened that go with the car.
The paint isn't perfect anymore, but looks really nice for a driver. The tires have really good tread, but they should be replaced with something molded in the past few years. lol
It has an aftermarket stereo that was cut into the dash insert panel.
Looking for about $15,000 for the car... but will consider strong cash offers.
Here are some pictures.

It has power steering, factory air, tilt telescope, new tires, new clutch, new seats, brand new trailing arms, true dual exhaust, new power steering pump. Runs like a top and has had a restoration work in the past. No leaks.

Factory 4 speed
Rebuilt '79 posi diff installed by Tony's Corvette
New greaseless u-Joints, new trailing arms, basically completely new rear end and suspension including shocks, spring, etc.
Top is perfect
Door panels are great, power windows
Headlight system has been gone through with new components-lighting fast
Sits just right
Recent, true dual exhaust, sounds strong, runs strong
PO repaint in 1979 code 58(?)"Corvette Dark Green" looks great over medium saddle interior. Paint is metallic, looks black depending on lighting

Try the relays
Some real nice mid 70's convertibles.....I have to ask, what partswe're changed for proper headlight doors opening and closing? Mine come up very slow on my 73 and the car has to be moving....I rebuilt both actuators where I found small tears, still not working the way I want them too....

Try the relays between the horn(s) mounted inboard of the actuators. The relays are less expensive than the actuators and cause as many issues. Also replace the vacuum "T" connector under the hood, on the driver's side close to the firewall ($6?). These changes made the most difference in my system, but I went through just about everything. Sorry, I don't have my AIM handy or I would scan and upload a pic of the headlight vacuum system/routing. Betting it can be found in another thread through...

I also have a '75, 4-speed listed on here. I've owned it since 1980 so, yes, I've done a lot of the replacement activities along the way. Numbers matching.
