With correct colors inside and out, and the numbers-matching V8 under the hood, this 1974 Chevrolet Corvette is a true collector-grade car at an affordable price. Then again, the four-speed manual might mean you won't be able to resist adding more miles to the ultra-low 46,912 on the odometer.C3 Corvettes have the look of distinction, and so nobody who sees this car in your driveway will question how affordable it really is. That's especially true since this one was treated to a full professional respray of its factory-correct Silver Mist. It's a timeless hue that fits in today considering a similar color is in style on many current Mercedes and Audi vehicles. And speaking of modern looks, we all know '74 as the debut of the urethane bumpers front and rear. These gave the C3 an appearance of one long continuous wave, and it made the '74 much more of a designer's work of art. But just because this was a more uniform look did not mean it skipped out on brightwork. It just made great features like the Rally wheels were much more noticeable.The red interior is not only a great complementing color to the exterior silver, but this is an all-original presentation. Corvette people love to see this, especially when it's as complete as this Stingray. When you see the condition of the bucket seats, you understand that this coupe was driven with care. You'll love hopping in, grabbing the three-spoke sports steering wheel, and gazing at the deep dual pod speedo and tach as you cruise around in your classic 'Vette. It came loaded with features like power windows, tilt wheel, AM/FM stereo, and a full set of auxiliary gauges. The air conditioning has just been fully replaced, so you can stay cool while take out the T-tops and let the world see the smile on your face.In a car that's been this original so far, it's great to see the numbers-matching 350 cubic-inch V8 under the hood. But beyond its 1970s appearance is a terrific maintenance record that includes a new radiator, water pump, and rubber surrounds. The trusty small-block fires up on command, and its four-barrel carburetor setup delivers a throaty exhaust note. It has a great throttle response, and you get complete control over this V8 with the desirable four-speed manual transmission. Add in great driving features like power steering, four-wheel disc brakes, and the grip of Goodyear Eagle GTII tires, and this is truly an irresistible machine.This is a two-owner coupe. The first one had it from 1974-2000, and the second one shows the level of meticulous care that we all love to discover. That's why this stellar Stingray comes complete with the owner's manual, reproduction window sticker, and restoration receipts. This is far more classic car than its affordable price suggests, which is why we know it will be leaving us soon. Call today!!!
