INTRODUCTION: 4,075 actual miles! This is a time capsule that looks
practically new. 1 owner until 1998, he put about 3,800 miles on it
and put it up on blocks where it mostly sat the next couple
decades. It has complete original documentation including build
sheet, invoice, receipt, warranty book, manuals, and more.
EXTERIOR: Never been hit or damaged, actually it still has its
original paint! Only the bumpers were repainted because of chipped
paint, pictures are included. I am really impressed at just how
nice the original paint is, this car could sit next to any car at a
show and hold its own! All the original glass is crystal clear. The
chrome, trim and weatherstrips are still in great shape. It's even
sitting on original Goodyear Poly Steel tires wrapped around its
original 15x8 rally wheels.
INTERIOR: It's as close as you can come to sitting in a brand new
1974 Corvette! The interior is untouched, unmodified and original.
The deluxe interior includes genuine leather upholstery. The carpet
front to back is excellent. The center console is mint, cigarette
lighter hasn't been used. It has its original reverse lockout
shifter and AM/FM radio. The steering wheel is not worn, nothing is
worn!
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It looks like it would have looked back in
1974! Its original VIN number matching 454 motor has never been out
of the car. It is completely stock including the manifolds,
carburetor and valve covers( there's still a paper sticker on the
valve cover from 1974!) The original smog equipment is still hooked
up, it also has a functioning cowl induction system and complete
ignition shielding. Features include power steering and power
brakes. All the components are clean and proper.
UNDERSIDE: It's very well preserved. The independent suspension and
steering is working properly. The dual exhaust system is still
original. It has disc brakes on all 4 wheels, and the e-brake is
hooked up. The original raw fiberglass floors are in excellent
shape, so is the spare tire carrier. The frame and chassis are
clean. Looking up at the motor it looks clean and has its original
numbers matching Borg Warner 4-speed transmission. In back is its
original numbers matching 3.08 posi rear end.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we
built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and
hired a team of technicians to service the essentials on every car
we sell.
CONCLUSION: This survivor did more than just survive, it lived a
clean, easy life! I'm very impressed at how nice it is. The fact
it's a 454, 4-speed really adds to the collectibility. Actually,
this was the last year for the 454 Corvettes. Ready for judging,
that can be a fun adventure that would only add to the car's value.
You won't find another one!
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide
is my professional opinion based on my experience with these
vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights.
Our cars are displayed within a museum setting. If you are
interested in a specific vehicle, please schedule an appointment
with a salesperson to view it. Without an appointment, there is an
admission fee to enter the showroom. If you decide to purchase a
car, your admission will be refunded, and you'll receive a one-year
museum membership.
