Now available in our PHILLY showroom is a 454 Big Block Corvette.
This is a numbers matching car with factory air conditioning. For
1974 model, a new rear bumper system replaced the squared tail and
chrome rear bumper blades introduced in 1968 with a trim, tapering
urethane cover carrying an integral license plate holder and
recesses for the trademark round taillights. The rear used a system
like the system used in the nose which allowed the Corvette to pass
federal five-mph impact tests at the rear as well as the front. The
new rear design was quite beautiful, and more up-to-date than the
60's shape that it replaced with most enthusiasts embracing the new
design. For the 1974 model, only, casting limitations mandated left
and right bumper covers with a vertical center seam. The anti-theft
alarm key activator was moved from the rear panel to the front left
fender. Tailpipes were now turned down as the new bumper cover
eliminated the tailpipe extensions. Hot Rod magazine in its March
1986 issue selected the 1973-74 Corvette LS4 454 as one of the "10
most collectable muscle cars" in the company of the 1968-70
Chevelle, 1970 'Cuda, 1970 Challenger, 1966-67 Fairlane, 1968-70
AMX, 1970 Camaro Z28, 1968-70 GTO, 1968-69 Charger, and 1967-68
Mustang. The big-block Corvettes were the only muscle cars produced
after 1970 worthy of the list. This Big Block Corvette is made even
more desirable because of its rare combination of Classic White
exterior paint and Dark Red interior combination. With 71919
original miles this Corvette is in very good unrestored
condition.To view this 1974 Chevrolet Corvette in greater detail,
