Items of Note

•  1975 C3 Corvette L-82 coupe – an iconic, mechanically sound, driver-focused sports car straight out of the golden age of American muscle. A true driver’s car, it’s powered by a rebuilt 350 small block Chevy engine, not original to the car but chosen to preserve and elevate its classic performance. Paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, this powertrain delivers power well beyond stock, striking an ideal balance between thrilling acceleration and refined control. 

Finished in Mille Miglia Red with a classic Silver interior, this Corvette comes with all the options for a true upscale 70s sports car experience. The additional options list includes: power windows, power brakes, power steering, 4-wheel disc brakes, shoulder belts, tilt-telescopic steering, FM/AM radio with cassette player, and rally wheels. 

Under the hood, the engine rebuild prioritizes both reliability and drivability. The 2-bolt Main block has been bored .060 over, and the crankshaft has been machined to .020/.010. Additional upgrades include rebuilt connecting rods with new bolts, Hastings piston rings, King Main and Rod Bearings, and an Edelbrock cam and lifter kit (part #7102) for a refined torque curve and responsive throttle. A double roller timing set keeps everything in sync, while a Melling oil pump with screen, shaft, and steel guide ensures consistent oil flow, even in spirited driving. Additionally, roller-tip rocker arms, an Edelbrock Performer intake, black crinkle timing cover, and matching valve covers add both strength and style. Rebuilt 882 cylinder heads, fitted with new valves, springs, and seals, complete the setup for smooth and reliable performance. The car also features a new radiator, hoses, and belts. The 4-speed transmission has been equally well cared for, with all new gaskets, a front main seal, and clutch to match the freshly rebuilt engine’s performance. 

360 small block Chevy with full roller Edelbrock Cam

The exterior of the car contains multiple scratches, chips, and clear coat damage. It is original to the car apart from the paint on the front and rear bumpers. Please refer to the photos. However, the focus of this vehicle has always been on drivability, and it shows in the mechanics under the hood as well inside the vehicle. All gauges work flawlessly, from the speedometer and tachometer to oil pressure, temperature, fuel, and battery. Though the clock is only accurate twice a day. 

The car’s underside has minimal rust, with both the frame and birdcage in great shape. The only rust issue was on the radiator mount, which has since been replaced with an aluminum mount along with a new radiator.
