Chevrolet Corvette L-82 355 V8 1975

General description : Description
A great color combo makes this 1975 Chevrolet Corvette instantly attractive. But the upgraded wheel package and a little extra rumble of the exhaust clue you into something more. That's because this coupe now has a 400+ hp crate motor and the control of a five-speed. So yes, the appeal of this one goes well-beyond a value price.
Silver has a timeless look on all cars, but the factory-correct color here truly has added appeal thanks to a quality respray only about six years ago. Shining paint goes a long way on these later C3s because they have the color-matched urethane bumpers front and rear. These gave the Stingray an appearance of one long continuous wave - almost like art on wheels. So this one is attractive even before we talk about what's lurking in the engine bay. Then again, with those large exhaust pipes and wide 15-inch upgraded wheels, you know there will be people who already know to ask you to lift the hood.
The red leather interior is a nice complementary color to the exterior silver. It has a sophisticated look that gives this American classic an almost European tone. So you'll love taking the T-tops out just to share the full color package with the world. It has a very stock feeling inside that's stylish and correct, with just the right hint of use to let people know it's a real classic. That's why you also have cool features like the working Delco AM/FM radio, and the controls for factory air conditioning are still on display (it will need servicing to blow cold again.) And as you grip the classic three-spoke sports steering wheel, it really feels like a great vintage driver's environment... and then you count the gears on the stick shift.
The engine bay doesn't try to hide the beast inside. While this was born a desirable L-82 car, the investments here went far beyond stock. It now has a 355 cubic-inch ZZ4 performance crate motor. This V8 has been enhanced and fortified for serious power, including Pro-Action alum heads, a Comp Cams hydraulic camshaft, 10.25:1 compression, full MSD ignition package, an Edelbrock intake, and topped with Holley 750 four-barrel carburetor. Hooker ceramic coated headers add power while feeding the custom-made chambered dual exhaust. It's a forceful package said to make well above 400 horsepower. And you get to fully harness that power with a transmission upgrade that includes a Centerforce clutch, new bellhousing, new flywheel, and a Tremec TKO 600 five-speed stick. This connects to a custom driveshaft that feeds a 3.55 Positraction rear end. The fully independent sports suspension received attention during the restoration. There was also a quick ratio power steering box installed as well as the addition of drilled & slotted rotors for the four-wheel power disc brakes.
So this is the extra powerful and sharp handling Corvette you've always wanted. And when it looks this good and the price is this affordable, you know this deal is not going to wait for long. Call now!

About Chevrolet
Chevrolet aka Chevy, founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant is the best selling and biggest brand by General Motors -mainly due to low pricing.

No wonder Chevy the "working man's car" has become such an iconic part of Americana in films and pop-culture.

When talking about Chevy one must not ignore Chevrolet small-block V8 the world's most produced engine that has been in production since 1955 and still going strong.

Surprisingly, "America's only sports car" Corvette was introduced under Chevrolet brand rather than its own. To us the most memorable Corvette has to be The second generation (C2) Corvette, Sting Ray.

To compete with VW Beatle Chevrolet introduced Corvair a compact automobile built in 1960–1969 It was the only American designed, mass-produced passenger car to feature a rear-mounted air-cooled engine. Corvair handling was deemed notoriously bad mainly due to Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed. Although, any handling issues were soon solved the reputation did stick.

With Pony / Muscle car mania taking over the Americans, following the introduction of Ford Mustang, Chevrolet came up with one of its most famous models Camaro. During the first year alone they managed to sell 220,906 Camaros.
