Hello - New vette owner

Hi, My first Corvette - 1975 Stingray - White with black vinyl T-Tops. Just picked it up Monday night for a very reasonable price. Currently own a 1969 Camaro that I restored 25 yrs ago and a 1972 C-10 Truck that’s in daily driver condition.

The Good

New Interior

New Wiring harness

New rack & pinion, ball joints ect

New steering box

New leaf spring in rear

All new brakes

New body mounts

Driver paint

The Bad – Someone pulled the motor and trans – 383 Stroker and TH350 Trans

Just wanted to say HI!

Mike

Congrats on your C3 and welcome aboard. Our C3 came with a detailed electrical diagram, but I don’t know from where the previous owner got it.
i just found out. It came from ClassicCarWiring.Com.

This is a two sided laminated chart for a 1972. I’m sure yours would be different perhaps for your ‘75. Good luck!
