“Getting to know a Corvette has got to be one of the greatest pleasures in life. And anyone who truly loves the road and where it goes deserves that pleasure at least once in his life. Or hers.” These are the words with which Chevrolet lured buyers into its showrooms in 1974, eager to put excited drivers behind the wheel of its stunning Corvette.
This gorgeous 1974 Corvette has been more recently refinished in Corvette Silver Mist. Completely stripped prior to repainting, its finish has a beautiful luster. You’ll also appreciate its matching Silver Mist T-tops, which will afford you the choice of closed- or open-air driving. Chrome rallye wheels, raised white letter tires, and all new exterior badging, lettering and trim complete the look.
The cockpit is equally sporty, featuring high-backed contoured bucket seats with integrated head restraints in Black vinyl. A full array of gauges will keep you informed about what is going on under the hood. You’ll also appreciate this Corvette’s new carpeting and interior door panels and the convenience of its optional power windows, power steering, and power brakes.
Powered by a 350 CID V-8 mated to a 3-speed automatic transmission, this car generates an impressive 195 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque. More recent mechanical updates include the following:
· New suspension, bushings, & upper & lower control arms
· New idler arm
· New power steering gear box & control valve
· New fuel tank
· New Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor and air cleaner
· New brakes
· New radiator
· New hoses

Having just 102,000 original miles, this gorgeous Corvette is ready to go!
One item of note is that although the car was originally equipped with air conditioning, the components are no longer with the car. In addition, the clock, AM/FM stereo, and windshield washers are not currently functioning. Included with sale are the original owner’s manual and T-top covers, as well as a custom fitting car cover.
If a C-3 Corvette that you can drive and enjoy is what you desire, this is the car for you!
