Up for auction is this 1975 Chevrolet C3 Corvette finished in Classic White over a black leather interior. This example is said to have been originally ordered with the high specification L-82 engine, 4-speed manual transmission, power windows, and air conditioning from the legendary Yenko Chevrolet dealer of Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. Not long after the car was purchased, the original owner returned to Yenko where an upgraded 454ci engine was installed along with a Muncie 4-speed transmission and rear end. Upon the passing of the original owner in the early 1990s, the car was put in storage for about a decade before it was acquired by its last owner and subsequently refinished in its original color along with a mechanical refresh. This well-appointed C3 Corvette is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Ohio.
The fiberglass bodywork of this C3 comes finished in Classic White and features a cowl-induction hood, side-mounted exhaust pipes, pop-up headlights, and body-colored removable T-top panels. The car is reported to have been refinished under previous ownership, additional photos are provided in the gallery. This example rides 15″ YJ8 aluminum wheels which come dressed in BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires.
The cabin is trimmed in black leather with matching carpeting and woodgrain trim on the door panels. Factory amenities include power windows, air conditioning, and a suite of instrumentation in the center stack including gauges for water temperature, fuel level, oil pressure, battery voltage, and a clock. The seller reports all gauges and accessories to be fully functional.
Originally equipped with an L-82 350ci V8, this Corvette was reportedly upgraded with a 454ci V8 by Yenko Chevrolet along with the installation of a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission and rear end. When the second owner acquired the car, a tune-up was performed, all worn rubber pieces were replaced, and a smaller carburetor was installed to improve drivability. The larger Yenko-installed carburetor is said to accompany the sale and there are no outstanding maintenance items reported at this time.
This sale will include a clean title. Showcasing period upgrades installed by Yenko Chevrolet, this Corvette is just waiting to begin its journey with a new owner.

@jbauto undercarriage photos are live
Videos coming ?
Cold start, walk around w\ engine running and perhaps a short driving video.
Want to hear that 454 and side pipes !
Agreed, underside pics a plus as well as “ any “ paperwork documenting the Yenko work
@JNasty As far as documentation, there are none, however the modifications are the exact mods that Yenko was known to install. At this point, it is just the words of an older gentleman. He has purchased several vehicles from us, and we have no reason to doubt him, but it is just his recount.
@JNasty The air conditioning is in place and functioning properly
Are those Hooker side pipes with headers? I can't see from the pictures. Need to get this thing on a lift and take 30 pics.
@seller - also AC in place and working post engine swap or not? Thanks.
@seller - have Yenko docs and/or receipts? HUGE difference in market value with and without. It's a "Yenko" vs. a modded Vette.
