Just got the Mecum note too, all great other than being a '75?
Interesting the auction includes a 1975 GM letter w/ Coupe and 'Vert breakdown of the 1975 L82 cars.
No Trans info noted but 2007 L82 Coupes and 366 L82 'Verts = 2373 total.

Default L82 Corvette...

Not sure I understand the 'L79' connection...the letter only mentions L82

As for it being a 1975...well I like that era...I was building my first hotrod...Corvettes were cool....especially red ones.

You can ship it to my house...I'll pay the freight

Meant to say L82 but typed L79...50+ years using aluminum cookware is starting to show?
Fixed now, thanks Wilma!

I like it, but the value would drop if I owned it because I'd be driving it.

----Bob Z (my partner in crime at Classic Motors) and I went to a small town just north of Indy and bought this 75 Corvette from the original owner in the early 80s I think. He bought it for his girl friend at the time. I believe we sold it for her about a year later or so because no one wanted to put any miles on it...….Bill S

I thought it looked familiar - I sent the link to Stretch and he confirmed it. I remember seeing it at the shop in Joliet way back when.

I talked with Stretch yesterday and reminisced about our trip down to buy it. We really weren't expecting anything like what we saw when the owner opened up the garage door..….Bill S
