- Description: This 1974 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray represents something very unique and desirable. After all, this was the only year for the C3 split rear end and the swan song for the big block, and this coupe was given it all straight from the factory. Plus, everything from its color to the four-on-the-floor makes it unique and ultra-desirable. There are plenty of unique details to the 1974 Corvette and Dark Brown is one of them. It was a color exclusive to this year, and so a true Corvette fan would know to upgrade the color to something this unique. And since this was a later addition done with a professional hand, you get a nice gloss and a deep tone to let the sunlight release the metallic element. Great paint is essential on a 1974 Stingray because the body-colored nose section and the new form-fitting rear (a two-piece only for ‘74) give it a modern appearance where the unique color is nicely displayed. You can tell the level of care that has gone into this coupe just by the way the panels have the kind of alignment that will make you proud to drive it around town. Plus, the 454 badging on the hood’s power bulge hints to the performance that was available for one last time in a generation. Inside, the correct saddle tan leather interior looks great against the metallic brown paint, and the wood panel trim adds to the full earth-tone style of this 1970s machine. Corvettes have always been a great personal sports car in providing performance features with plenty of creature comforts to also make it a great long-distance cruiser for two. This one follows that tradition with nice stock elements like power windows, a Delco AM/FM radio, and provisions for air conditioning (it will need servicing and or repair to blow cold again.) And of course, the T-tops are always great for a day out on the open road. As the driver, you get a three-spoke steering wheel on a tilt column. Just ahead of that is the large dual pod gauges, including the handy tach. Just to the side is a full set of auxiliary readouts for a true sports car experience. Collectors like the 1974 model because it was the last year for the big block motor. While less than 10% opted to have the monster V8 installed, we are happy to see the numbers-matching 454 cubic-inch V8 under the hood. But more than just collectability, this Corvette is meant to be driven. The motor fires up with a road-ready eagerness and it inhales deeply through that cowl hood into a four-barrel carburetor. And the added headers let this exhale with more power and rumble. And you’ll love that you get to take firm control over it all thanks to the numbers-matching four-speed manual transmission. Plus, with a fully independent sports suspension, power steering, and four-wheel power disc brakes, this is a sports car that feels better than many other younger classics. The sale comes complete with the owner’s manual, service manuals, and title documentation. If you want the best of the last big block C3, you know this one needs to be in your garage. Call today!!!
