Known as one of the great American sports cars, Corvettes aren’t always cheap cars to get into. This 1975 car is a little rough around the edges, but appears relatively complete, and the engine and bay are particularly clean. With a $500 opening bid and no reserve, this Chevrolet may be a sweet deal. Check it out here on ebay out of Miami, Florida.

With a 350 V8 and a 4 speed manual, this seems like a hot ticket to some fun. The engine is simply described as “good” and overall the engine appears clean. The thermostat housing area is a bit chalky, but otherwise this engine looks fair, and is equipped with air conditioning.

Despite the exterior appearance, the interior doesn’t look too bad. The driver seat has some splits near the stitching, and there is apparently a box of parts in the passenger seat. Although all of the glass is removed, the dash and carpet look great.

At some point in time this was someones toy, as the sweet long tube headers appear to be of quality. The biggest downfall of this Corvette is the paint. My guess is the factory burgundy like color faded, peeled, and chipped, to where the car was then primered black. Looking beyond the primer, there appear to be no cracks in the body work, making this car seem all the more reasonable. With some paint and general elbow grease, this Corvette could be a sweet deal depending on the outcome of the auction. What would you pay for this American classic?
