1974 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

Description

1974 saw a significant styling transition for the C3 Corvette generation, introducing a new body-colored urethane rear bumper to complement the front urethane nose introduced the year prior. As the final year before major emissions restrictions arrived and further reduced power output, the 1974 remains one of the more sought-after mid-generation C3s among collectors.

Acquired by the seller in the early 1990s, this drop-top C3 is said to have been refurbished under current ownership, including a repaint in dark blue with custom gradient striping and rebuilding the carbureted 350ci V8 engine. Equipment includes a 3-speed automatic transmission, power-assisted brakes and steering, and 15” Rally wheels.

This example is fitted with a light blue convertible top and cream-colored interior upholster, and an aftermarket cassette head unit replaces the original. Under the hood, chrome accessories and an aluminum radiator have been installed, and fiberglass bumpers have been installed front and rear.

This 1974 Chevrolet Corvette is now offered with a clean Illinois title in the seller's name.
