Here you can read story of my 1975 Corvette coupe, which was a rough ride in need of some major TLC.

Originally equipped with the more powerful L82 engine and Turbo400 automatic transmission it provided us with a good starting point to work on. The whole undercarriage was cleaned up and painted.The beefier 010 engine block, the heads and the distributor are all still numbers matching stuff. We just had the heads cleaned up a little, new cam, intake and carb. sure runs much nicer now and looks way better than the old rusty motor.

Here the car is still shown with the 7" front ralley wheels, which I later swapped for pair of 8" so they fill up the wheel well even better now. The original Orange Flame colour looks stunning with the ralley wheels regardles the lighting.
