| DESCRIPTION |
| You don't often hear the words tastefully modified and Corvette in the same sentence, but this gorgeous 1974 Corvette nails it with subtlety and a dazzling Laser Red paint job that completely transforms it. In case you haven't noticed, '70s Corvettes are on a bit of a streak these days, with new Corvette fans turning up almost daily and embracing the affordable fiberglass they represent. This one doesn't presume to be a show car, but instead is happy to be a clean, handsome Corvette with a fantastic look that will definitely get noticed. When the Sting Ray debuted, it wasn't until years later that they could cook up paints to emphasize those dramatic curves, and with the two-stage urethane Laser Red on this one, it looks like a million bucks. Not quite candy apple red, but with a gold undertone that almost makes it glow from within. And all of it was professionally refinished, showing great gaps, straight panel work, and a final gloss that you'll probably admire yourself every time you park and walk away. Inside, it's pretty much stock, but the C3's interior design has aged quite well, especially in basic black. Fresh seat covers, new door panels, and correct carpets give it a fresh look, and who can argue with a low 2-seat cockpit bristling with technology, even if it is 1970s technology? The gauges are crisp and clear, with a full array of auxiliary gauges in the center stack as well as a newer AM/FM/CD stereo head unit that fits perfectly. A/C and power windows compliment the standard T-tops, which also include removable screens to help keep the sun out. Where the exterior is extroverted and wild, the interior remains sophisticated and neatly done, not to mention fully functional, so you shouldn't be afraid to drive this car everywhere you go. In 1974, the L48 delivered reasonable performance, and thanks to a few choice upgrades, probably makes a few extra horsepower today. Of course, the obvious upgrades are those gorgeous side pipes, which have a modern take on a classic performance statement. Finned valve covers look like they were borrowed from a Z/28 Camaro and the chrome air cleaner hides an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor. Underneath, the chassis is clean and straight, just the way you'd want it on a Corvette you planned to drive, and the TH350 3-speed automatic transmission is a very willing and able dance partner out on the road. It's amazing how much room there is underneath with the exhaust system out of the way, and this one really shows off how easy a life it's had in a warm, dry climate. Recent equipment includes shocks and end links on the sway bars, so handling is crisp, and with classic Rally wheels, it looks just the way you've always dreamed your Corvette would look. This is a great-looking Corvette that drives superbly, so you need not make any apologies for falling in love. Call today! This vehicle is located in our Atlanta showroom.
