Vehicle Description
You're looking at a heck of a lot of car for the money. This very
affordable 1974 Chevrolet Corvette has a powerful appearance, the
freedom of a droptop, an upgraded interior, and the unmistakable
exhaust rumble that comes from a lot of money invested into a
fuel-injected small block.
This Stingray looks fast standing still. The factory-correct code
14 Silver Mist looks quite modern. It's especially true because
there was a big investment recently in a modern professional
respray. That's particularly special on this one, because '74 was
the debut of the urethane bumpers front and rear. These gave the C3
an appearance of one long continuous wave, and so the clearcoat
shine really highlights this work of art. Also, keen eyes will
notice the sought-after features like the luggage rack and
two-piece rear end - an exclusive element for the '74 cars. But
this convertible is also far from stock. It gives an instant
performance-minded first impression with upgrades like the side
pipes and extra tall cowl hood.
While the black convertible roof does a nice job coordinating with
the silver exterior, this one looks even better with the top down
showcasing the full silver package inside and out. The interior has
a nice balance of premium and sporty, and you see it with features
like the high-back bucket seats, padded armrest, and wood-like trim
on the doors and center console. As the driver, you get a
three-spoke sports steering wheel. Just ahead of that is the large
speedometer, and just to the side are a full set of auxiliary
readouts. Plus, there's a SunPro tach mounted in the cowl hood to
keep it central and at eye-level - just like a racecar. This has a
ton of great comfort features like the power windows, tilt steering
column, and upgraded AM/FM/cassette stereo with digital tuner. You
even have modern R134a air conditioning.
Everything so far has been about a showcasing a cool 'Vette, but
what will make you want to grab this one immediately is when you
sneak a peek at the engine bay. This is a Chevy 350 cubic-inch
motor with a marine-grade Mastercraft MCX fuel injection on top. So
not only do you get a cool car with the large cowl hood, but when
you lift it at car shows, it also has a unique powerplant to
showcase. It looks great with its polished red presentation, but it
also has all the right supporting components. This includes
upgraded pulleys and a DeWitts aluminum radiator with dual electric
fans. Plus, there's a great set of Hooker headers that feed the
growling side pipes. This is a terrific performance motor, and it's
paired with the Corvette's excellent fully independent suspension.
But a great backroads machine is not this car's whole story. It's a
great all-around classic with nice cruising features like the
three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and four-wheel
disc brakes.
This is a unique C3 convertible offered at a terrific price. But
since there is only one up for grabs, you may want to hurry up
before it's gone. Call today!!!
