Vehicle Description
This 1974 Chevrolet Corvette is an update and an upgrade on a true
classic. It has the Stingray style you love in a package with extra
power and flair. So check out everything from the yellow metallic
paint to the performance stroker V8, and you'll realize there were
big investments in this coupe to make sure it was memorable from
every angle.
The paint is going to instantly grab your attention. Chevrolet
offered a bright yellow in '74, but it never had a metallic
element, too. So you've got a color that's vibrant enough to
practically glow in the dark, and there's also enough sparkle to
radiate during the day. That's the recipe for a truly awesome ride.
And the custom elements don't end there. The custom hood with
sporty scoop signals something special in the engine bay (more on
that in a moment,) and the side pipes may just be the only thing
that grabs more attention than the paint. It's all done a car that
looks, straight, clean, and proudly presented. So the first
impression is always a powerful Corvette worthy of extra
distinction.
Black and yellow will forever be an ideal combo, so you'll happily
take out the T-tops to share this midnight interior with the world.
The high-back leather bucket seats are both stylish and
comfortable, and the rest of the full dark package have the proper
look of respect you want on clean classic like this. There are nice
features like power windows, a tilt/telescopic steering column, and
plenty of wood-like trim. The air conditioning is even running
modern R134a (it likely just needs a recharge to blow ideally cold
again.) But your favorite feature will just be the high-octane tune
that's unique to this Stingray, and it happens every time you twist
the key.
Under the hood is proper V8 power in a shining presentation. The
air grabber, alternator, ribbed valve covers, and more give plenty
of polish to this tidy setup. It's an era-correct block that's even
believed to be original to the car. But what you'll really love are
the big investments to get the performance waaaaay over stock. The
350 cubic-inch V8 is now a 383 stroker motor. It's a forged Eagle
rotating assembly with Keith Black pistons, 10.64:1 compression, a
Lunati flat tappet 60103 cam, Dart pro alum heads, Comp Cams roller
rockers, Edelbrock RPM aluminum intake, and topped with an
Edelbrock 800 CFM four-barrel carburetor. It's also supported by
the right pieces, like an HEI ignition and aluminum radiator with
electric fans. There's reportedly less than 1,000 miles on this
motor build, and so it's a strong-running enhanced power pack.
Plus, it fires up with a terrific growl as the long tube headers
add power and rumble to those side pipes. The stout TH400
three-speed automatic transmission is the numbers-matching unit,
but now it has been rebuilt with a 2600-2800 stall to keep you in
an ideal powerband. As you look underneath, you're reminded that
this has the advantage of a fully independent suspension, and
you'll even spot some newer bushings. There's also power steering,
wide BF Goodrich T/As, and four-wheel power disc brakes to give you
firm control over this extra-power Vette.
Complete with build receipts and the owner's manual, this is the
classic Stingray built with the best enhancements you truly want in
America's sports car. So if you want to be memorable tomorrow, you
need to call today!
