Happy to help. The 75's are probably the cheapest to find at the moment. Not many people like the slant nose bumpered cars. We have a personal family attachment to ours since Gramma owned it new.

They started that new headliner style in 74 I think. It was a padded vinyl glued to a cardboard backing and would fall down like a modern headliner does after the foam layer disintegrates.

What did you have back in the day?

Unless you have a specific attachment to the 1975 model year, that kind of money will buy you a pretty nice 1976 455 4-speed driver. Cleaner nose and bumper treatment, thus a much more handsome car AND more collectible than a '75 400 car. Of course the 455HO package was available in '75 as well if that year is a "must-have" for you. Just my 2 cents. Good luck with your search.

Agreed, 76 is the target year, 4 speed, ideally black but silver may get it done, just not too much red......

I had a 1976 TA, black on black, 4 speed, console delete. Not the fastest car in town but sounded nice running the gears. It had one repaint, no decals, gold honeycomb wheels, all the right stuff. May end up in a Z28 though (79-81), Burt dying drove the interest up overnight in these cars but the 75/76 is where I would like to be in terms of years.
