Vehicle Description
With correct colors inside and out, and the numbers-matching V8
under the hood, this 1974 Chevrolet Corvette is a true
collector-grade car at an affordable price. Then again, the
four-speed manual might mean you won't be able to resist adding
more miles to the ultra-low 46,912 on the odometer.
C3 Corvettes have the look of distinction, and so nobody who sees
this car in your driveway will question how affordable it really
is. That's especially true since this one was treated to a full
professional respray of its factory-correct Silver Mist. It's a
timeless hue that fits in today considering a similar color is in
style on many current Mercedes and Audi vehicles. And speaking of
modern looks, we all know '74 as the debut of the urethane bumpers
front and rear. These gave the C3 an appearance of one long
continuous wave, and it made the '74 much more of a designer's work
of art. But just because this was a more uniform look did not mean
it skipped out on brightwork. It just made great features like the
Rally wheels were much more noticeable.
The red interior is not only a great complementing color to the
exterior silver, but this is an all-original presentation. Corvette
people love to see this, especially when it's as complete as this
Stingray. When you see the condition of the bucket seats, you
understand that this coupe was driven with care. You'll love
hopping in, grabbing the three-spoke sports steering wheel, and
gazing at the deep dual pod speedo and tach as you cruise around in
your classic 'Vette. It came loaded with features like power
windows, tilt wheel, AM/FM stereo, and a full set of auxiliary
gauges. The air conditioning has just been fully replaced, so you
can stay cool while take out the T-tops and let the world see the
smile on your face.
In a car that's been this original so far, it's great to see the
numbers-matching 350 cubic-inch V8 under the hood. But beyond its
1970s appearance is a terrific maintenance record that includes a
new radiator, water pump, and rubber surrounds. The trusty
small-block fires up on command, and its four-barrel carburetor
setup delivers a throaty exhaust note. It has a great throttle
response, and you get complete control over this V8 with the
desirable four-speed manual transmission. Add in great driving
features like power steering, four-wheel disc brakes, and the grip
of Goodyear Eagle GTII tires, and this is truly an irresistible
machine.
This is a two-owner coupe. The first one had it from 1974-2000, and
the second one shows the level of meticulous care that we all love
to discover. That's why this stellar Stingray comes complete with
the owner's manual, reproduction window sticker, and restoration
receipts. This is far more classic car than its affordable price
suggests, which is why we know it will be leaving us soon. Call
