Details
This 1974 Corvette Stingray is a rare and exciting find, boasting a numbers-matching 454 big block V8 paired with a M21 close-ratio 4-speed manual transmission and Gymkhana suspension. With only 38,021 original miles, this C3 Corvette combines collectability, performance, and originality in one beautiful package.
The car has had just three owners since new. It remained with the original owner near Reading, PA, before moving to Delaware with its second owner, and has been with the third owner since 2018. Its documented history and low mileage make this Corvette an especially desirable example of the mid-70s big-block era.
This Stingray features a saddle leather interior and is well-optioned with power steering, power brakes, power windows, and a tilt and telescopic steering column. Other standout features include the factory side exhaust, rally wheels, AM/FM Delco radio, fiberglass bumper covers, and the upgraded Edelbrock aluminum intake and Holley carburetor, enhancing both performance and drivability.
Over $12,000 spent on extensive mechanical upgrades completed by previous owners. The original engine has been rebuilt, and additional work includes replacement of the trailing arms, strut rods, rear leaf spring, and a 3.08 rear end. Other improvements include a new emergency brake cable, rear shocks, brake lines, power steering control valve, and a refreshed front suspension with new ball joints.
Further enhancements include a high-torque starter, aluminum water pump, clutch kit, rebuilt transmission, and a new radiator. The car also received new weatherstripping, headlights, and a wiper motor, among other updates — all aimed at making this Corvette a reliable and thrilling classic to own and drive.
1974 was the last year for the big block in a corvette. GM released 3,494 with the big block, 6,882 with 4 speed manual transmission, and 1,905 with Gymkhana suspension out of 37,502 total production. |
