This 1974 Corvette gets everything rightand#44; from the fresh paint to the long list of options to a ton of recent work. Bright red always looks goodand#44; but on a C3 Corvetteand#44; it hasand#44; welland#44; a classic look stretching all the way back to the earliest days of Corvette performance. The 70s were a wildand#44; funky time and our taste in fashion was represented best on the street by the Corvette. Always an A-listerand#44; this particular car shows us why they remain popular todayand#44; and while it was originally code 14L Silver Mistand#44; nobodys going to argue about the color change after they get a look at this car. The glass is in great shape with no stress cracks in any of the usual locationsand#44; and with good shut linesand#44; crisp detailsand#44; and better-than-new finish workand#44; this coupe makes for an excellent initial entry into the Corvette hobby or the finishing piece of a collection. Note how well the nose and end caps fitand#44; the total absence of scuffs or damage on the chin and rockersand#44; and the blacked-out rocker trim makes it look lean. A matching black stinger down the center of the hood looks better here than on many other cars and the overall look is extremely impressive. A code 404 black leather interior is how this one was deliveredand#44; so thats whats in it todayand#44; and it nails the swinging 70s perfectly yet looks great today. The seats remain in excellent conditionand#44; having been re-upholstered recentlyand#44; along with new door panelsand#44; carpetsand#44; and weather seals. Wood appliques warm up the monochromatic interiorand#44; and youll be pleased to find options like A/C (not functional but all the parts are included)and#44; power steering and brakesand#44; an automatic transmissionand#44; and an AM/FM/cassette stereo. The gauges show brightand#44; clear markingsand#44; and theres an auxiliary oil pressure gauge tucked under the dash over on the passengers side to monitor the vitals a little more closely. Dont worry about pedigreesand#44; just pull the color-matched red T-tops and hit the road in style. Performance is decent considering the originaland#44; numbers-matching L48 lives under the hood. Nicely detailedand#44; including a new air cleaner and finned valve coversand#44; plus bright yellow plug wires and a custom radiator shroudand#44; it looks well-maintained and clean. The original Quadra-Jet carb is goneand#44; replaced by a 600 CFM Edelbrock 4-barrel on a matching intake manifoldand#44; long-tube headers build torqueand#44; and the ignition system has been upgraded to HEI. Its not detailed for show underneathand#44; but if you want a Corvette you can get in and drive any time without worriesand#44; one that wont have you fretting over a little rainand#44; welland#44; this is just the ticket. Theres a new exhaust system that really sounds fantasticand#44; new U-joints on the driveshaft and half-shaftsand#44; as well as new bushings that make it feel like a newer car. Correct Corvette Rally wheels are still in place and now wear 235/60/15 front and 255/60/15 rear BFG radials.
