Can you tell me which single band (non screw driver) 75 meter mobile
whip has enough "whip" to allow operation all the way to 3.5 MHz (80
CW)? Most every model says it is good for "75 meters" i.e. no lower than
3.75 MHz.

Hustler has also 80m resonators, if looking for commercial.
Quite often you could extend the lower frequency limit by using longer 
stinger, like Radioshack CB whip extensions. Adding top hat made out of CB stingers 
over 75 m coil would do even better job.
