I wanted a classic that looked like it had a shot of appreciating in value, I can't think of a better candidate than a 1975 L-82 4-speed,........maybe a 1974 454 4-speed? ..........good condition '68-'72 cars are already too expensive!

 

old man has always loved the Corvette, so it is my DNA,.....always felt like I was too young (or too broke) for a 'vette growing up, now seems just right for a C3 

 

*Father owned a 1961 2-4bbl. fawn/fawn C1, 2004 black/black C5, 2007 black/black C6

 

at 39 yrs. old this is my 1st GM product!........hoping it will be a great experience!

 

 

 

 

I searched far and wide to find this all orig., matching #'s '75 L-82 (2,372 for 1975 model year) 4-speed.(it is not the close-ratio BW T-10 M21 option,.....which would make this a REALLY rare car).

 

It is the orig. RPO M20 BW Super T-10 (wide-ratio)

 

Orig. Trim tag 732 74L denotes dark red/dark red from the factory as well

 

The car comes with stacks of ppwk, ...orig. Cali. plates w/1975 Merced Dealership surrounds, manuals, etc;..........I will spend a lot of time sorting thru it all, seeing what is orig., what is GM replacement, etc;  ......verify that it is indeed #'s matching engine/tranny......extremely curious to read what exactly was done to that L-82 during the rebuild, I know they yanked the caty convert. and installed true dual exhaust, which is fine w/me!...........seller thought engine was now rated more in the mid to high 200's instead of the factory 205HP, which again, is ok w/me,.......I just hope they left the orig. L46/L82 cam in place!......we'll see
