Test Drive 1975 Chevrolet Corvette SOLD $9,950 Maple Motors

[@ttass6266]

I'd strongly recommend the buyer of this car knows what these cars are all about and inspects the frame rails and birdcage. If they show rust issues repair costs will be high. Also those vacuum operated headlights can be either really simple or really complex/costly to repair. If these all check out and the motor seems ok then probably a decent buy as a driver quality car.

[@AlteredCarbons]

i love how these and C4's are like the "always under 10k" cheap car, no matter how old they get.

[@tonyborello3826]

That's a c3

[@AlteredCarbons]

@@tonyborello3826 well aware of that, thats why i called them "these" and C4's

[@jonathansmith3742]

I paid 15,000 for mine. Base model, no tilt or telescoping steering wheel. Runs like a champ. Had the valve seals replaced and put a lot into the under carriage. New gas tank and stereo. I love it. I like the 165 hp. Highways are great. Feels like an airplane taking off.

[@griffonclaw]

This is a great inspection. I love how you show off all the flaws and it's just so cool that you troubleshoot the problems on the fly. This is so refreshing to see and if you possess some mechanical skills, you will appreciate what Mr. Southgate is doing. For less than $10k, you have one of the most beautiful, sexiest car of the malaise era. I also need to say that Nick does a thorough inspection on the same level as a mechanic hired to find serious flaws before you make the purchase. @11:47, it's not a flaw. It's winking at all the ladies.

[@regirocksregi]

Love it. Tempted to buy it. But I can't keep buying cars just to have them and do nothing with them. Love when he touches other parts of the car, the wipers act up. "t top cover is loose" *wipers turn on* "Does the horn work?" *Wipers turn on* T-tops are typically rattly. The brakes could honestly just have air in them. Let them gravity bleed and then see if it still sticks afterwards. Great buy for a daily driver.

[@donovansyryduk1927]

I bought one in 1975 for 9400.00 with the gymkhana suspension. Handled amazing but absolutely no power but lots of fun. Pretty nice to have purchased a car in 1975 and in 2023 get more for it used than it was new. Oh well, have to go with the flow.

[@SHADOWBLACKs650]

Man ,these old cars. they just need everything... 45 years ago feels like yesterday.

[@davidwright873]

yeah...no shit....lol

[@Molon_Labe61]

A great project car for a Disabled Vet who wants a driver to wrench on but isn’t able to go full out with engine pulls and tranny drops. Just what I’ve been looking for. Too bad it’s not a ‘73 or earlier with those gorgeous chrome bumpers, but it is a Stingray! According to the paint code this used to be a Classic White Vette with over 8,007 produced - the largest color produced - and with Dark Red vinyl interior. And according to the VIN it came off the line in May of ‘75 with the 350ci 165hp engine.✝️🇺🇸❤️🫡

[@Ollie2846]

Awesome review. I applaud and appreciate your detailed comments about the car. You point out what others try to hide. I only wish I could afford it. Looks like a good project car. Thanks.

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

I appreciate that! Thank you

[@oldcarguy700]

Nice Vette. You feel like a star when driving one.

[@vettegreaser6590]

That’s a good price, for a nice Stingray

[@Ladco77]

This looks like a great gateway drug into Corvettes. An inexpensive running and driving car that you can enjoy while you go through it.

[@Starscreamf15]

Omg the horn doesn't work and those windshield wipers won't stop. 🤣🤣🤣 That Vettes got some attitude. I love it. 🤣🤣

[@tombankwel4822]

This awsome vette in black it would be the most awsome 🦇 batmobile from the batcave 🦇 🦇 USA 🤩 thanks Nick stay cool great video, from tom 🤟 🤟 🤟

[@MisterFridayOMG]

I wonder why are chevelle’s so expensive and the vettes aren’t?

[@michael1242]

Maintenance

[@keithmcleod811]

Nice Vette. That generation of Corvettes are my favorite design of all the Vettes. Too bad it was during the 1970s and the horsepower of the 350 engine was only 165 HP due to emissions regulations of that era.

[@raytycker1656]

Yank that shit off n get rid of the cat. Unless you live in commiefornia or Newyork.

[@mauricecunningham4150]

L82 Had 205 Horsepower for 1975

[@dennisburt2410]

Nick that car needs an exorcism those wipers are possessed and have a life of their own! 😳

[@marktemple4081]

With just a few electrical issues, it's a good buy for the money...clean!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Red and Ready! At that price you can have a FUN cruiser!!!!

[@kennyrupp7379]

Damn son what do you expect for a 1975 this is a badass car and the things that are wrong with it are minor it is still worth the money

[@Rogue-Mike]

Lmao, I could actually buy that right now but broke for the first half of the month. Pretty she is.

[@Jared_DaVinci]

I'm about to buy it

[@madmike2624]

Thanks for not editing out the wiper fiasco, tooo funny!

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

Yeah I thought it was funny lol

[@Eddie-yc5yd]

Love those old Vettes.

[@redlegalsupport1917]

Another great Vette review, thank you Maple Motors. Red C4 makes life better 😎

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

Thank you

[@circusclown9690]

[@michaeloliva3759]

Nice Vette! Beard grew back real fast too!😂

[@franksawyer2478]

It's amazing that the vet was a staitis simbal for people that had money

[@johnwhitcraft-sj7ip]

It's the break booster that's why the break light is on bro.

[@mikeradie7758]

Bet that horn works 💪 👷‍♂️

[@kenkitsul8076]

Question is, do the wipers work ha ha ha? Horn is not going crazy!!! K

[@barryelliott1032]

Oh yeah Little Red Corvette. Love it

[@kellydavid6334]

[@Frank-ul1qs]

Awesome vett. Even with new method use of wipers. I'd probably leave it like that.

[@johnnyringo9759]

Nice car for the price!!

Not often you find who made who wipers on a Vette!

[@bobcow363]

[@flightofapaullo72]

Niiiiice ride!

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

Thank you

[@alfredwooten414]

The car I want to buy, have not been ran , since,1980, but I want it, badly, it was owed buy a, pastor,who held it, for me, and passed, away, his wife, gave me a price to, buy it , and I want it, badly

[@alfredwooten414]

I'm going to pay what she wants for it

[@Motor-City-Mike]

Boy, this year is like the perfect example of 'The Dark Years' of performance, I think my zero-turn mower would run right with this car 0 to 30mph. THAT'S why these cars sell so low, the performance is embarrassing. On a positive note - someone who knows how to make big power without making a lot of noise could have a fun little sleeper, without spending a fortune.

[@BlackDahliaPix]

WELL...as an owner of a '75 that has great power I must disagree. I chose this year for sleekness and it was the last year to not require a smog check. You can gussy up that engine in multiple ways, and I did.

[@commacentsgp614]

i love her

[@joehaines2251]

It's messing with you nick lol

[@wilburshaw9330]

There is a LOT wrong with this car. I have a 75. It’s a cherry compared to this one.

[@johnwhitcraft-sj7ip]

You are silly bro 😂

[@dougharris8328]

Haunted vette

[@mangoMango-ck3et]

cheeeses save us,, that Corvette is cheap,,,come to Australia, Nick,see their over the top, overrated,over priced classic cars,,they'd put $50,000 on that Corvette

[@blackjeep6432]

No offense but 1975 was probably the worst year of Corvettes ever!

[@fredrikjanacek2191]

Depends on what you want. Worst original performance: Yes. The design of the "Vette" of -75 is one of the best ever. The laziness of the 350ci 165hp with strangling emission issues engine is of course sad. But, who the hell wants to street-race with an original 48-year-old car in original mode? She's a pure beauty and when she shows up on the road with that all beauty and a 350-sound, it's always a cheer-up

[@bryant6pac]

Will you take 7500.00

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

No sorry this one just sold, thanks

[@KingWill333]

Ok- There goes my fishing money, I’m buying it…
