1974 Chevrolet Corvette

For sale in our St. Louis showroom is a big block 1974 Chevrolet Corvette. The odometer reads 33,409, and is believed to the original miles to the body and frame. This Corvette was originally a big block car, although the original 454 is not in place, the sought after 4 speed manual transmission and rear end are original to the car. Options for this 1974 Chevrolet Corvette include: AM/FM Radio, T-Tops, Power Steering, Tilt/Telescopic Wheel, Seat Belts, Anti-Theft System, Vinyl Interior, Rally Wheels, and Radial Tires. The 454 CID big block V8 features a 770 CFM Holley carburetor. Only 3,494 Corvettes in 1974 featured the M21 4-speed manual. This M21 shifts perfectly and transfers the power to the 3.36 rear end with ease. In 2007 this Corvette underwent a mini restoration. The paint was taken down to the gel coat, it was primed, blocked, colored, and cleared. New points, coil, and ignition were installed, as well as new weather stripping on the doors, and a new heat shield on the hood. The white exterior paint still looks great from the 2007 repaint, and the brown vinyl interior accents that white exterior perfectly. The wood grain steering wheel matches the interior to a T and adds a touch of class to the already great car. 1974 was a busy year for the Corvette as far as new additions and changes go. The transition to "soft" bumpers was complete in 74' with the new body colored urethane plastic rear bumpers debuting. The 1974 Corvette was the last model year without catalytic converters, and the last of the era to feature true dual exhaust. The radiators were redesigned to be more efficient at low speeds to prevent overheating. Magnets were installed in the power steering units to collect fluid debris. Also shoulder belts were added to lap belts in coupe models for the first time.
