Sold 1975 Corvette Stingray

[Adventure Boy]

1975 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 350 5.7 Ltr V8 with Auto gearbox in really nice condition drives superb for a 50 year old American car, Engine pulls cleanly and strong, great oil pressure, all gears change nicely and when they should, Interior as clean and tidy as you would expect no nasty surprises, starts on the button every time new tyres,
this would be a car you could use and improve the paint has a few bubbles and chips, 50 years old !! the rev counter does not work neither does the petrol gauge, both common Corvette problems but I have a spare's of each to go with it, Road tax and MOT exempt
its a reliable old beast that still looks the part and turns heads
£10,750 ovno the car owes me a lot more than that but I have to free up some space

You don’t want to swap it for a nice R9T do you?
Always wanted a corvette, in red… gorgeous.

 

[Magwa]

Oooh I do like that
Free bump up

 

[Gerbil007]

Ah man. A legit Astronaut car!

Practicality wise, would you say it’s comparable to a Skoda Octavia Estate?

 

[Udders]

Nice. One of the best shapes they did.

 

[Slime Bomb]

Very nice. Always loved the early ones. Bet that doesn't do many gallons to the mile.

I’ve had the good fortune to having been able to drive one of these although it was a 1978 L72 4 speed car. Very under rated sports cars, if you’ve not owned or driven one extensively it’s very easy to group them as just another over the top American “all show and no go” cars. They are very capable sport touring cars so have a bump on me and the best of luck with your sale……To those thinking about it, go have a look as well worthy your time. Just one more thing, don’t know the owner of this car so nothing to do with me I just really like this era of Corvette. Very good value for your£!!

Awesome,GLWS

Thanks Guys
it is a lovely old thing, I prefer this shape as well, its not too bad on fuel to be honest id say driven reasonably 22mpg but the V8 noise is so addictive, compared to the Skoda maybe lacking on cargo space and if youve got kids !! LOL I take this 40 miles each way to the meet every Wednesday eve and get out with the yank guys every 3rd Sunday do around 100-150 miles and its great very reliable starts at every request, I love that its not been messed with, with speakers cut into the doors, silly big wheels etc the only option was the rear boot rack and the only non std item is the Stereo but thats a result to be honest, had the vacuum headlights replaced with electric motors so both headlights now rise and close simultaneously that looks better, which I forgot to mention,
R9T it would very much depend on model year and of course price, ad that I could make space for

Just looked in great depth at the other C3 Corvette's on Ebay this is a lot cleaner than all of them and they range between £9500 for a really not nice project car and £15k so I think this is priced very keenly

Hi Rob , great car for the money, all ways said I’d have a American car one day and if I had more garage space I’d be 1st in line for yours ,
Good luck with the sale

Romford ?

 

[siddo]

Romford ?

You know that or guessing?

 

[Robbi]

You know that or guessing?

Guessing TBH it says Romford in his avatar and that he uses it to go to meets so I admit I have assumed it would be local to his house location....I could be totally up the left of course
