Since 1980 is one of my favorite years I was looking for the perfect,low mile car that needed nothing. I had the cash to spend on the right car so I started looking. One night I'm at work and I see an add for a 75 convertible with 12,000 original miles. I had the cash so I figure I'll check it out. Talk to the owner,he just got it from the original to flip. Car sat in a varying Sacramento for the past 35 years,100% stock. I got the car and have been working on it non stop for the past year. Car runs,drives like a 12,000 mile car but the paint is beat and the engine compartment needs a serious detail. I completely gutted the interior for a deep clean and it's going back in the car. The interior in the cars got to be one of the nicest original interiors in a 75 Corvette anywhere.

Car sat in a Sacramento for the past 35 years with everything you can imagine being drug up and down pretty much every inch of the car. I got the car and have been working on it non stop for the past year,so much for buying the perfect car that needed nothing. Car runs,drives like a 12,000 mile car but the paint is beat and the engine compartment needs a serious detail. I completely gutted the interior for a deep clean and it's going back in the car.
