5.7-Powered 1974 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe 4-Speed

Description

The 1974 Corvette Coupe occupies a specific place in C3 history as the first model year to receive body-colored urethane front bumper, replacing the chrome unit that had defined earlier C3s. T-top roof panels, Maco body lines, and pop-up headlights, it remains one of the more visually cohesive years of the long-running design.

This 1974 Corvette Coupe is finished in Medium Red Metallic and has been modified with a 5.7-liter Vortec V8, which sends power to the rear wheels through a replacement 4-speed manual transmission.

The interior has been reupholstered in a tan and Scottish plaid fabric, replacing the factory vinyl. The car rides on Rally wheels wrapped in Cooper Cobra tires and is fitted with side pipes. A classic-look radio with Bluetooth has been installed, and the headlights have been upgraded to LEDs.

This 1974 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe is offered with an owner’s manual, multiple keys, various spare parts and a clean Vermont title in the seller’s name
