1974 Chevrolet Corvette -- Description

This is one of the finest examples of a '74 Vette that you will find. It is a low mileage, stock and clean car in its factory correct color and interior. 1974 marked the first year for molded bumpers both front and rear that have become the norm these days, but back then, it was cutting edge stuff. check out this beautiful Stingray. This car is presented in 14L Corvette Silver Metallic. It's not the original coat... of paint, but it is the correct and original color, is in excellent condition, and looks fantastic. The molded bumpers were the end result of new governments safety regulations. GM's engineers stepped up once again with a solution that not only met the regulations, but did it in an innovative way that moved the car out of the chrome bumpered 60s and into a new era of beautiful integrated styling. This car was also meant to be driven on a regular basis and even taken on long trips, sometimes being called a "touring sportscar". To facilitate that, a nice- looking and functional factory luggage rack is installed between the sail panels. Up front, the one splash of color on the car appears in the Corvette badge on the nose and a cowl induction hood flows back and up from there. Stingray appears of the fenders and the rockers are nicely trimmed out in polished metal. The interior on this car is in excellent condition and believed to be all original. The code 425 Dark Red vinyl is a beautiful compliment to the silver. The high back buckets have textured seating surfaces with smooth bolsters and show a light amount of wear, especially on the driver's seat, as would be expected in an all original interior. A three-spoke steering wheel with the crossed racing flags horn button is mounted on a tilt and telescoping column. A quick flick of the wrist to the right is the shifter for the manual transmission that is begging to be stirred around. The 160 MPH speedometer shows the 48,118 actual miles on the car and the center console holds all the gauges for fuel level, water temp, oil pressure and voltage.
