Good car need more power or to be cheaper than normal

This car does need some work. For its age, I suppose it's in decent shape. It does have t-tops, which leak in the rain, it lacks a firewall between the engine compartment and the footspace in the 'cockpit'. It's temperamental, needs a mag starter... the engine heats the regular starter too much, and it has to cool down again before it will fire up. It's missing a motor in the driver's side window, and the seal around the windshield is heavily degraded. The vacuum canisters for opening the headlights are shot. She dogtracks like crazy on the open road. But you know what? This is the most amazing car I've ever driven. It was made for a purpose, and here over thirty years later, I can still tell. It is simple compared to today's new cars, but it has more spirit. This baby gets up and roars, and I LOVE it.

The last year of a Stingray convertible for Corvette C3 model. Reliable daily driver and not expensive to maintain. I had a 1976 Stingray that I should have never sold.

1975 Corvette Stingray Coupe , T-Tops , auto trans. , Original 8 in. Rallyes , 350 L-82 Engine with 55,000 original miles , Headers , new high performance distributer and cables, new Edelbrock alluminum intake, high performane Edelbrock carb. , Performance Cam , new fuel pump, new water pump, new front wheel bearings, high performance air filter, new interior (rare original silver color), new floor mats, painted a couple years ago (excellent exterior), new chrome side pipes, new brake booster and master cylinder. Runs Great (new carb still might need some adjustment b/c only couple months old) but runs excellent on the high end and good to great on the low. I just think the carb could offer more to the performance of the car if it was adjusted again.

I have a 75 Corvette convertible and just love it. It is as solid and reliable as anything. Despite having a relatively low horsepower rating (a combination of new rating system and smog and other compliance measures)the car flies. It has mnore than enough power for me and is a real headturner. It has electronic ignition and was the first of the unleaded petrol Corvettes.
