DESCRIPTION
1974 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe
For consignment, a 1974 Chevrolet Corvette coupe with a title verified 100,636 actual miles, a wild custom interior, a numbers matching four speed transmission and a non original 454ci V8.
Exterior
Our consignor states the Classic White paint job is \"relatively new\" and covers the car like a streamlined Stormtrooper. The classic lines send rounded fenders over the wheels and a shoulder line that is articulated on the door to house the wonderfully designed door handle that is horizontal and flush. The urethane tail piece of the car is rounded and includes cylindrical ports for the four taillights and a license plate cove. Just below it, tailpipes protrude and face the ground. In front, the fiberglass blends into a shark-like nose with hidden headlights in front of the slightly raised hood. White highlights the fender vents and the 15-inch Chevrolet Rally wheels look great, wearing tires with an early 2022 date code. Imperfections include some extra clear coat that has dried to drops under the roll pan and some paint runs in the same area, a crack in the paint above a wheel opening, paint run near the vent, areas of orange peel, and some other uneven areas along with a notable crack in the windshield.
Interior
Hold onto your hats. We start with unassuming and standard door panels in red plastic and vinyl with an upturned attitude for ergonomics typical in Vettes of this era. Slight patinaed, but overall in good condition. Then we turn to the bucket seats which are completely covered in a pattern we can best describe as \"groovy,\" perhaps fitting for an early 70\'s vintage, with almost psychedelic shapes and geometric patterns. The leather is in good condition and is matched by a center console cover. A 3 spoke grippy steering wheel fronts a basic dash with an instrument cluster of two, augmented by the center stack\'s array of five gauges and an AM/FM radio. Along with the map pockets in front of the passenger, it\'s all in very good condition. Down on the center console, we have the vent controls and the joystick, a metal knobbed shifter in black leather boot, showing quite a bit of patina. The red loop carpet below shows usage and that coverage in the cargo area is faded.
Drivetrain
The reverse opening hood reveals a spotless 454ci big boy with a bright orange block and even brighter yellow wires, along with chrome valve covers. It is fueled by a 4-barrel carburetor and the car is put into motion by a numbers matching Muncie M21 4-speed manual transmission which sends power to the rear axle with 3.08 gears and Positraction. America\'s great sports car gets power disc brakes at all four corners.
Undercarriage
Clean and bone dry underneath with surface rust reserved for the exhaust pipes only. Those pipes run the length of the car and enter clean MagnaFlow mufflers before spilling out into the world through those downturned tailpipes. Coil spring suspension is up front and Corvette\'s complex rear suspension is present and capped off with transverse leaf springs.
Drive-Ability
The big 454 roars to life and we move the shifter to number one and ease off the clutch to roll this sleek white machine onto the test loop where of course, acceleration was on tap, handling was excellent, and tracking is near perfect on these fresh tires. Some things were noted as non functional including the heater blower, the wipers, the clock, the reverse lights, and the horn. All other functions work as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
Lightweight car, big engine, clean interior. That\'s a recipe for some fun roads ahead. This is a fine example of a C3 in stunning white paint, a stick shifter, and grease free mechanics. And don\'t forget about those removable tops! Now you\'re cruising in style AND in the open air. Your groovy chariot awaits, table for two, smiles are free.
