1974 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible Convertible 350 V8 3 Speed Automatic Classic

Looking and running great, this 1974 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is one seriously inviting open air ride that comes along at a perfect time as summer looms just around the bend. It's a fitting example of the Corvette's inspired third generation styling and carries a nice array of features in good working order, along with build and maintenance receipts to document the care it's received. This '74's clean white paint complements its curved form nicely. Few production... vehicles resemble their concept car inspirations as closely as this third generation 'Vette resembles the Mako Shark II that drew crowds when it was unveiled, and with Chevy having the opportunity to make subtle adjustments over the span of a few years, it's both futuristic-looking and refined at the same time. It's also come through the years in very good order, obviously benefiting from the care it's received, and from front to back you'll find well-aligned body panels and signature hidden headlights that sit flush when not in use and raise on cue when called upon. Should you find yourself behind the wheel of this iconic open-air classic as the skies darken, the saddle-colored vinyl convertible top lifts into place easily and looks great set against the white of the rest of the car - it's a nice change from the black or white options you normally see and features a very clear plastic window in back. Clean badging on its front fenders and tail, as well as very clear lights fore and aft, really add to its finished appearance. Climb inside and you'll appreciate the condition of the saddle leather interior you're surrounded by. The pair of high-backed buckets have held their form well and have plenty of padding for comfort, and they straddle a signature inclined center console that offers some additional storage space and a convenient place to rest your elbow while behind the wheel. There's a nice selection of comfort features on hand that make this 'Vette a great choice for frequent driving, including air-conditioning that's blowing strong and cold - a fairly uncommon feature in a mid '70s drop-top - power windows and a steering column that both tilts and telescopes so that you can get the wheel into perfect position. Even for a car that's received its share of good care over the years, its interior components are in impressive working condition - the gauges are nice and clear, the electric windows raise and lower smoothly and even the clock sitting just above the center console, as well as the nearby AM/FM radio, work just as intended. A 350-cubic inch V8 sits under the hood, teaming with a 3-speed automatic TH400 transmission to make for a drivetrain that's not only fully original, but still at the top of its game. Everything is in place to indicate that this vintage 'Vette is very road-ready - it's got power disc brakes in front and back, and with a relatively new master cylinder in place, it stops promptly and securely. A look below will reveal the solid floorpans and straight frame rails you'd hope for. Combine this Corvette's low-slung stance with its precise power steering and you have a great handling corner carver that cruises on a set of 15" stock Chevy rims, outfitted with Goodyear Eagle RH tires. A striking vintage appearance, a strong running combination and open-air driving excitement make this 1974 Chevrolet Corvette convertible a terrific addition to any garage. Call today!
