1975 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe Project

This 1975 Chevrolet Corvette coupe runs and drives, but cosmetic damage includes a missing rear fascia and a damaged front bumper cover. The car is refinished in red over black and and is powered by a 350ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Features include a Positraction differential, removable roof panels, 15″ Rally-style wheels, MagnaFlow mufflers, and a red center console. The seller purchased the car in 2023, and tells us that it had been stored since 2004. Maintenance since 2022 has included replacing brake and power steering components, the tires, the battery, and the alternator. This C3 Corvette coupe project is now offered at no reserve with spare parts and a clean California title in the seller’s name.

The car was factory-finished in Bright Yellow (56) and repainted red under prior ownership. Exterior features include removable roof panels, pop-up headlights, and a rear luggage rack. The rear fascia is missing, the front bumper cover is damaged on the left front corner, and additional blemishes around the car are shown in the gallery. An uninstalled front bumper cover, backup lights, rear “Corvette” lettering, and license plate brackets are included in the sale.

Polished 15″ Rally-style wheels were mounted with 255/60 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires in August 2025. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel power-assisted ventilated discs, and service in September 2022 included replacing all four calipers with remanufactured units, flushing the fluid, and replacing the front brake pads. The power steering control valve, cylinder, and hoses were replaced in May 2024.

The cabin features bucket seats upholstered in black leather along with color-coordinating carpeting and interior trim, while the center stack and console are finished in red. The woodgrain driver’s door panel trim is missing, and the air conditioning system and cassette stereo are inoperative. Scrapes on the driver’s door jamb are shown in the gallery.

The three-spoke steering wheel is mounted to a tilting and telescoping steering column and frames a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 5,300-rpm redline. Auxiliary gauges and a clock are mounted in the center stack. The five-digit odometer shows 27k miles, approximately 500 of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown. The fuel gauge and clock do not work.

The 350ci V8 is equipped with a four-barrel carburetor and was factory rated at 165 horsepower and 255 lb-ft of torque. Service in September 2022 consisted of replacing the fuel pump, removing and cleaning the fuel tank, and changing the engine oil and filter. The spark plugs, ignition wires, drive belts, and radiator hoses were replaced in 2024, followed by an oil change in 2025. The battery and alternator were replaced in September 2026.

The engine pad stamping is shown above.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a Positraction differential. Magnaflow mufflers are fitted.
