The seller offers for sale this 1975 Chevrolet Corvette C3 Stingray Cabriolet, powered by a 5.7-litre V8 engine, paired with an automatic transmission. Finished in bright red over a dark interior, this open-top C3 presents as a striking example of one of America’s most recognisable sports cars. The car is equipped with power steering and electric windows, and the seats have been retrimmed in leather. According to the seller the car is fitted with factory air conditioning, which is not functioning at present. The drivetrain is described as matching numbers, a detail that is always welcomed by collectors of the model.
The third-generation Corvette, internally designated C3, was introduced for the 1968 model year and remained in production through 1982, making it the longest-running generation in the model’s history. Its dramatic, curvaceous bodywork drew heavily on the Mako Shark II concept and gave the C3 a flamboyant character that set it apart from its European contemporaries. The convertible body style, offered alongside the fixed-roof coupe, brings the added appeal of open-air motoring and has become increasingly sought after as Chevrolet ended Corvette convertible production after 1975, making this one of the final open C3 cars of its kind.
Under the bonnet sits Chevrolet’s small-block V8, a powerplant celebrated for its broad torque, characterful soundtrack and relaxed long-distance ability when matched to the automatic transmission. With its long bonnet, muscular rear haunches and unmistakable profile, the Corvette Stingray remains a cornerstone of any American classic collection. This particular example combines that timeless silhouette with a desirable colour scheme and refreshed interior, offering an inviting entry into C3 ownership.
