1975 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

Rare Factory L82 4-speed. 967 actual miles. Original unrestored condition. Documented with original window sticker, tank sticker, build sheet and warranty booklet. Original L82 350 CI engine. Original 4-speed transmission. Gymkhana suspension. Original Mille Miglia Red paint. Original Medium Saddle custom leather interior. Tilt telescopic steering wheel. Four Season air conditioning. Power windows, steering and brakes. Two tops. AM/FM radio. Original Firestone steel radial 500 tires.
The L-82 dropped an astonishing 45 hp in 1975, and delivered 205 hp. This was the last convertible for the 1968-82 third-generation and only 12% of the cars were ordered as such. 366 were built with the number of 4-speeds unknown.

Car and Driver recorded a 7.7 second 0-60 time in a 1975 base engine-automatic, making the Corvette still one of the fastest cars available at the time. This example sold for $8,100, a huge number in 1975.
The car appears at Mecum's.
