Vehicle Description
The year 1974 was a rough year for American performance, with the
fall out from the 1973 OPEC oil embargo still fresh in everyone's
mind and new government emissions, the horsepower ratings of
American V-8 engines plummeted. The base engine is the 1974
Corvette was an anemic 195hp 350CI V-8, a far fall from the base
300hp 350CI V-8 of only four years earlier. This left the Corvette
in a unique position, as it still retained the flamboyant and
performance oriented styling, but could no longer provide the red
hot performance that had so long been a hallmark of the Corvette.
This beautiful 1974 Corvette pictured here has corrected that short
coming courtesy of a freshly rebuilt engine that has been bored
.030 over to produce 355CI and with upgraded carburetor, intake,
ignition system, and exhaust system, and now produces that magic
300 horsepower number. Combined with a new 5-speed Tremec
transmission, this Corvette is a joy to drive, and can cruise
comfortably at highway speed while still returning good fuel
economy. The sound emanating from the side pipes just below your
ears is pure American muscle, and causes heads to turn even before
you approach. With four wheel power disc brakes, power steering,
and air conditioning, this Corvette is a daily driver option that
will get you more attention than any newer sports car would. The
entire car has been refinished in a gorgeous blue hue, and combined
with the classic Chevrolet rallye wheels, white letter BFGs, and
gleaming polished side pipes makes this car stand out in a parking
lot like a shining beacon of Americana. Inside, freshly recovered
leather bucket seats await you, power window glide up and down at
the push of a button, the steering wheel adjusts for reach and
tilt, and a period correct AM/FM/Cassette stereo plays Van Halen's
greatest hits through custom speaker enclosures as loud as you want
it to. Pop the removable T-tops, and take this amazing automobile
for a spin. The clutch take up is just right, the shifter is rifle
bolt precise, and the steering is right now quick. The envious
stares, thumbs up, and horn honks you get while driving this
classic are to many to count. Everyone loves to see a classic
Corvette, and this one is a real attention grabber. Contact Brian
