My new car
 
1 Attachment(s)
Picked up a 1975 Corvette Stingray, L-48 350 and a 4 Speed. Car drives pretty good, hopefully just in need of a tune up and basic maintenance.

I'll put more photos up when I get home.

Was wondering if anyone new any good websites for looking model year information for Corvettes. I've been searching around but really haven't find anything like camaroresource.ca or like what we have here.

Again thanks.

Looks nice, and I like the updated tail panel with the spoiler. Good luck with it!

You stole Al's car! :lol:


Looks very nice man, love that style of vettes.

maroman88 07-13-2010 11:40 AM

i agree with steve, the later rear bumper with the spoiler looks WAY better then the original

jin1481 07-13-2010 01:38 PM

Yup, i dont think i would have picked it up if it had the rounded bumper, ive always been a bigger fan of the 68-73, but this was the right price and looked great. Its the flat glass and the spoiler just makes it look a million times better.

Tru2Chevy 07-13-2010 05:10 PM

Nice! Looks pretty clean overall.

Early C3s are my fav. vettes, but I would take anything up to 77. Can't stand the 78-82 fastback cars.

What are your plans for it?

jin1481 07-13-2010 07:35 PM

Immediate plans are a tune up this weekend to get her running smooth again, then an e-brake rebuild. Over the winter I would like to swap in a GMPP 350/290 motor and update the front and rear suspension. Eventually one day I would love to tear her down to frame and rebuild her, but thats a long time away.

FoodStampsz 07-14-2010 09:18 AM

looks good!

Frosty 07-14-2010 10:22 AM

Best of luck with it!

LS1Hawk 07-14-2010 10:54 AM

Very nice! C3s are my fav generation, a very timeless design. My dad had a '74 that he absolutely loved but had to sell when my parents bought their first house in 1979. But about 7 years ago he picked up a '78 Silver Anniversary edition.

T69SS 07-16-2010 11:01 AM

Nice Vette! Good luck with it

BonzoHansen 07-16-2010 02:37 PM

So what's the going rate on a mid-gen c3 that looks it's age, $5000?


I dig the AR Vectors. Very vintage!

jin1481 07-16-2010 05:44 PM

Abouts that yeah, i really should have took someone with me that new more about carb cars. I posted up on corvette forums and they are telling me all kinds of things that are wrong with the motor.
