Corvette C3 T Top '75 1975
General description :
The Chevrolet Corvette (C3) was produced from 1967 to 1982. The engines and chassis components came mainly from the previous generation, but the body and interior were new. It set new sales records with 53,807 products for the 1979 model year. The C3 was the third generation of the Corvette and it bore the Stingray name for the second time, but only for the 1969-1976 model years, and in a single word, as opposed to the Sting Ray used for the C2 generation of 1963-1967. The 1975 model was advertised as "a more efficient Corvette", as service intervals were extended and ignition electronically. On the other hand, the catalytic converter was made mandatory by the federal government and "unleaded fuel only" warnings on the fuel gauge and filling hatch were affixed. From this year, the rev counters were trained electronically. The Corvette began to be influenced by the metric system while speedometers now displayed small undersides indicating kilometers per hour. Power decreased, so that the base engine produced only 167 hp (123 kW) and the only remaining optional engine, the L-82, dropped by 46 hp (34 kW), managing to deliver 208 hp (153 kW). With no larger engine available, L-82 hood emblems began to appear on cars so equipped. The standard rear axle ratio for the base engine remained unchanged, which remained at 3.08 with automatic transmission and 3.36 with manual transmission. This is the last convertible of the third generation from 1968-1982 and only 12% of the cars were ordered as such. As in previous years, a folding roof was supplied as standard with hardtop roadsters covered in body color or vinyl which was optional at an additional cost. Anticipating new federal safety restrictions, Chevrolet thought it would be the Corvette's last soft-top model, but the convertible returned in 1986. Due to the state's strict emissions standards, this was the last year Chevrolet installed the L-82 engine in a Corvette destined for California. .

About Corvette C3
The Corvette C3 was produced from 1968 to 1982 and had several iterations throughout its lifespan. Here are some of the notable ones:1968-1969: The early C3 models featured a distinctive "shark" body design with a long, pointed front end and a swooping rear end. The interior was completely redesigned for more space and comfort.
1970-1972: The C3 received a significant facelift, with a more aerodynamic front end, pop-up headlights, and a more aggressive stance. This was also the first year of the LT-1 engine, a high-performance small-block V8.
1973-1977: This era of the C3 featured a less aggressive front end design, with a chrome bumper that extended across the entire front of the car. These years also saw the introduction of the C3's first targa top, which allowed for open-air driving without the need for a full convertible.
1978-1982: The final years of the C3 saw further refinement of the exterior design, with a more angular front end and a full-width rear spoiler. These years also saw the introduction of the Collector Edition, which featured a special silver and black paint scheme, as well as unique interior and exterior features.
Overall, the Corvette C3 was a popular and influential sports car that set the standard for American muscle cars of the era.
