1974 Chevrolet Corvette L48

Description

The numbers-matching V8, a nice factory color combo, and iconic styling make this 1974 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray instantly attractive. And it has the right mixture of nice features and updates that let you enjoy the open road from day one.

This car is for the drivers out there. The medium blue paint is both factory-correct and quite distinctive. It was resprayed later in life to have a good gloss, but nothing here is ever too fancy that you'll be reluctant to take it out any day. So it's the kind of coupe you'll take out on the streets and make others envious as you pass them in their Corollas. This has all the classic details you love, like the color-matched front end, flush resting headlights, polished rockers, and bright Rally wheels. But there's also an added level of distinction with updates, like the glass T-tops and single-piece rear with integrated spoiler

The silver interior has a nice look to it. The extra glow of the upholstery complements the metallic in the exterior paint. And since the seats are leather, this has a nice and supple feel. But what's most appealing is the driver-ready and driver-oriented style. You have a full auxiliary gauge panel, a tilt/telescopic steering column, and a crisp-looking speedo and tach right in front of you. This has the right cruising features you want, too. The T-tops and power windows let you open this to the world. There are provisions for R134a air conditioning (it will need servicing or refilling to blow cold again.) And the driving music is upgraded with an AM/FM/cassette stereo that fits well in the factory housing, but it also now runs the CD changer and XM receiver.

The numbers-matching L48 350 cubic inch V8 provides the power. It has an attractive style with finned valve covers and some nice polished details distributor shield and air cleaner. The hardy trusty small-block fires up on command, it inhales deeply with a four-barrel carburetor, and the dual exhaust has a throaty note on the open road. This V8 is mated to the numbers-matching TH400 three-speed automatic transmission for easy all-around driving. The fully independent suspension, power steering, and four-wheel power disc brakes make this a great anytime classic.

Complete with the owner's manual, this is the Stingray that's distinct, fun, and fits your budget. Call now!
