1974 CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE"NO RESERVE"
THE STORY ON THIS BEAUTIFUL RED ON SADDLE ON BLACK 1974 CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE STARTS BACK IN 2010 WHEN THE ORIGINAL OWNER SOLD IT TO A FRIEND AND COLLECTOR OF MINE. HE OWNED THE VETTE UP TO 2013 AND LOVED AND CARED FOR IT IN HIS CLIMATE CONTROLLED WAREHOUSE UNTIL HE SOLD IT TO THE PRESENT OWNER. THE PRESENT OWNER TOOK A VERY NICE DRIVER AND PROCEDED TO SPEND IN EXCESS OF $10K ON A FRAME ON COSMETIC RESTORATION OF THIS BEAUTIFUL CAR. HE IS IN HIS GOLDEN YEARS AND WANTED TO MAKE IT AS GOOD AS HE COULD SO THAT HE AND THE WIFE COULD ENJOY IT ON THE WEEKENDS AND SPECIAL OCCASIONS. WE HAVE ALL RECIEPTS FOR ALL WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE SINCE 2013. LETS START WITH THE NICELY DETAILED ORIGINAL 350CI V-8 AND TH 350 TRANSMISSION THAT HAVE TO THE BEST OF OUR KNOWLEDGE NEVER BEEN OUT OF THE CAR. THE 350 STARTS RIGHT UP, IDLES BETWEEN 500 AND 700 RPM JUST LIKE IT SHOULD. IT HAS GOOD POWER AND PULLS YOU BACK IN THE SEAT WHEN THE LOUD PEDAL IS APPLIED WITH NO HESITATION, SKIPPING OR FUNNY NOISES ALL THE WAY TO THE RED LINE. THE FACTORY TH 350 TRANS SHIFTS PERFECTLY AND FIRMLY THRU ALL THREE FORWARD GEARS. REVERSE IS JUST AS NICE AS DRIVE AND THE DRIVE SHAFT, U-JOINTS AND HALF SHAFTS ARE IN GREAT CONDITION ALONG WITH THE FACTORY REAR END, NO CLUNKS OR FUNNY NOISES. ALL SERVICE HAS BEEN DONE ON THE MOTOR AND TRANS TO INCLUDE OIL AND FILTER, TRANS FLUID AND FILTER, A FULL INSPECTION OF BELTS, HOSES, PLUGS, WIRES, DIST CAP AND ROTOR, VAC HOSES AND ALL TRANS LINES AND CONNECTIONS. THE FRONT SUSPENSION IS TIGHT AND RESPONSIVE JUST LIKE A CORVETTE SHOULD BE. THE 74 DRIVES STRAIGHT AT ALL SPEEDS AND OTHER THAN SOME FLAT SPOTTING ON THE TIRES FROM LACK OF USE THERE ARE NO VIBRATIONS OR SHIMMYS. THE PRESENT OWNER ADDED THE 4 WHEEL POWER DISC BRAKE KIT IN 2013 AND IT STOPS GREAT. THE BFG TIRES WERE MOUNTED IN 2013 AND HAVE LESS THAN 3K MILES ON THEM. RIMS ARE ORIGINAL AND ARE IN GREAT CONDITION, THE REAR SUSPENSION TRACKS STRAIGHT WITH NO NOISES, SQUEEKS OR CLUNKS AND IS ALL STOCK. THE ABSOLUTLY GORGOUS INTERIOR IS ALMOST NEW. THE CARPETS, LEATHER SEAT COVERS, DOOR PANELS, DASH, TRIM PANELS, DOOR HANDELS INSIDE AND OUT, SEATBELTS, CENTER CONSOLE WERE ALL REPLACED IN 2013. ANY PARTS OR PIECES THAT WERE RESTORABLE WERE RESTORED. THE TOP IS NEW AND IN PERFECT CONDITION AS WELL AS ANY AND ALL WEATHER STRIPPING. THIS IS AN AC CAR THAT WORKS GREAT BECAUSE THE COMPLETE SYSTEM WAS REPLACED IN 2013. THE NEW OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE WILL BE PROUD TO SHOW OFF THIS BEAUTIFUL INTERIOR. ALL GAUGES, SWITCHES AND ACCESSORIES WORK JUST AS WELL AS THE DAY IT LEFT THE FACTORY. THE VETTE WAS PAINTED IN 2013 TO THE FACTORY MILLE MIGLIA RED AND LOOKS AWSOME. IT WAS COLOR SANDED AND BUFFED TO A HIGH GLOSS AND IS A 9.5 ON A SCALE FROM 1 TO 10. NO ORANGE PEEL AND LAZER STRAIGHT BODY PANELS SHOW THAT SOME TIME AND MONEY WAS PUT IN TO THIS BEAUTIFUL PAINT JOB. IT DOES HAVE SOME CRACKING AROUND THE HEADLIGHTS AND WHERE THE FENDER MEETS THE DOORS, A CHIP OF PAINT MISSING ON THE NOSE AND CHIPPING IN THE DOOR JAM ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I PROVIDED PICTURES OF ALL THE AREAS AND IF NEEDED CAN PROVIDE MORE. THE OWNER DROVE THE CAR SO THESE THINGS ARE TO BE EXPECTED. THE OVERALL CONDITION OF THIS VERY NICE CORVETTE IN MY OPINION IS A VERY HIGH END DRIVER THAT CAN BE ENJOYED RIGHT AWAY. THE NEW OWNER COULD TAKE THIS CORVETTE TO ANY CAR SHOW RIGHT OFF THE TRAILER AND BE VERY CONFIDENT THAT IT WOULD SHOW WELL IN ANY CATEGORY INCLUDING BEST IN SHOW. THE NEW OWNER WILL ALSO BE ABLE TO DRIVE AND ENJOY THIS VETTE FOR MANY YEARS TO COME.THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION AND THE VETTE WILL BE SOLD TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER AFTER THE LAST SECOND TICKS OFF. THE VETTE IS SOLD AS IS WHERE IS WITH NO WARRANTY WRITTEN OR IMPLIED BY THE SELLER/OWNER OR MYSELF.

Just got an e-mail from a friend who saw that I made a mistake on the trans. I is a TH400 and not a TH 350. That's even better, sorry for the confusion.
