Stunning and spotless, numbers matching, rust-free 1974 Vette that fixes a 454 big block engine with a 4 speed manual transmission. GM listed it as fully optioned when originally purchased, F09 code, 404 trim with black leather interior, and Lin Mile Miglia d exterior, paint code 76L. documented mileage, currently at 61,779, which will go up slightly as we still enjoy it on weekends. The time this Vette has spent on the road has been mostly to and from car shows, local club trips, and NCRS events.
I purchased the Vette from a former Chevrolet Corvette judge, and second owner who loved on it for 30 years. The documents you will receive with the car are unprecedented, with receipts totaling well over $75,000 in work done, a bible of service invoices dating back to the early 90s. the same lines, you will receive a binder containing nearly 100 FIRST PLACE awards this beautiful car has earned through the years.

What the Vette needs, to the best of my knowledge:
Small chip on hood, shown in one of the pictures.
Clock on dash needs to be removed and repaired.
Slight rattle on shifter at high speeds, very common on C3s.
Fun facts:
Chevy sold over 37,500 Vettes in 1974, up from approximately 30,000 in 1973. The 454 was rare as less than 3,500 buyers ended up ordering it, which was a solid upgrade for customers who didn’t want to settle for the performance figures of the base models. 1974 was the last year with the big block 454. Chevrolet also discontinued the dual exhaust systems, and began using catalytic converters the following year.
you can appreciate, this car has been pampered its entire 50-year lifespan. It has never seen rain, snow, or extreme heat. I welcome serious buyers and encourage inspectors, technicians, and/or appraisers. To be mutually respectful of our time, I discourage solicitors, tire-kickers, VIN search sellers, and of course, scammers.
asonable offers are welcome.
