Brief History of the car
I bought my Corvette on April 05 2003 At the RM classic car auction in Toronto. The car is a 1975 Corvette Stingray coupe with a 3 speed automatic TH400 transmission. Originally the car came with a L48 350 cubic inch (5.7L) 165hp engine, current engine is a 1974 350 cid 4 bolt main engine (not sure on performance specs) it has been rebuilt and has a Weiand Action Plus intake. The car was originally a Metallic Blue with silver vinyl interior, currently it is black with silver vinyl interior. The luggage rack was removed before it was painted. The original rims and tires were replaced with BFGoodrich Radial T/A P245/60R-15 Front and P255/60R-15 Rear all mounted on Centerline Auto Drag.
Since I have owned it I have
- Replaced the alternator
- Changed the HEI cap and coil with Accel units
- Installed lap belts (waiting for my friend to sell me his Trans AM 3 point rear seatbelts)
- Fixed passenger window (the front came out of the track
- Replaced the secondary upper shaft on the Q-jet with the proper one
- Connected the transmission kick down switch and did a Bubba job to get it working (lots of masking tape)
- Bubba switched my seats around so I switched them back
- Installed a Sony CD deck (transferred from old car)
- Replaced lock nuts (no key for the old ones, removal + new ones)
- Replaced the power steering hoses
- Alignment
Repairs in progress
- Tachometer (needs new circuit board old one is out I am waiting for new one)
