1974 Chevrolet Corvette looking for a good home.  4 speed transmission with body matching t-tops.  I purchased the car off Ebay about 6 years ago from a gentleman in Illinois and had it shipped to me.  The vehicle was painted while the previous owner had it.  The shine is still there, but there are a few bubbles in the hood area.  You can also see where a good finish sanding was not completed prior the final respray due to some light scratches visible.  The car looks great from 10 feet away.  I am just being honest and trying to represent the car the best I can.  Radiator just flushed & fluid changed.  New Wipers installed.  The car has only been driven in rain once since I have owned it (go figure, moving day). 




I have replaced the following items over the last few years:  
Intake Manifolds (removed headers),
Air filter & assembly, 
complete tune-up, 
rear brakes, 
oil pump, 
seals, 
lower radiator hose, 
upper radiator hose, 
thermostat (170 degree installed), 
heater pump hoses, 
alternator rebuilt, 
alternator bracket replaced, 
power steering line, 
wheels (back to original), 
carpet (floor sprayed with rubberized undercoating & then lined with dynamat prior to new carpet), 
seat cushions, 
seats re-upholstered,
seatbelts, 
numerous interior trim pieces, 
floor mats,
center console,
shift boot,
ash tray,
interior temperature control cluster,
rear compartment assembly,
radio (vintage in appearance, but digital with ipod adapter hidden in ashtray area)

  
What I would replace if I was keeping the car:  
interior door panels, 
paint, 
clock, 
rear bumper (currently a one piece which in 1974 they came from the factory a two piece with split down the middle), 
tripometer (does not work, but the odometer does) 
install the luggage rack on the back.  

There is a chip on the drivers door at the edge where my son  (he is still alive, so relax) opened the door into another vehicle.  The chip has been touched up with paint.  The Original air conditioner has never been checked since I've owned the car due to not driving it hardly at all.  The belt was frayed, but present when I received the car.

I have tried to take it back as close to factory original as I can.  It is a numbers matching car from everything I've checked out.  The carb is a Holley, not the quadrajet.  I found a napkin inside with the original dealerships name on it. When I replaced the carpet, I sprayed undercoating on the interior floor and then lined it with dynamat (for heat reduction and noise cancellation) prior to laying down the carpet.

Here is the research I've done on the car through the NCRS manual:

Trim tag
416= Medium Saddle
80L= Orange Metallic
E18= Body Built May 18th
Vin#
1- Chevrolet
Z= Corvette
37= Coupe
J= L48
4= Last # in year made
S= Saint Louis Plant
4= constant # in 73 & 74
126724= Sequence # of Vehicle
Engine Block:
3970010
AC Compressor:
5910741= 74L48

I am selling the car to get a larger camper for my family, so one toy must go before I can upgrade another unfortunately.  No partial trades or trades of any kind welcome.  Price is firm.  Buyer pays shipping and all other included costs.  I will drive it to the shipper.  Appraisers welcome under my schedule.  I will deliver within 150 miles of me for free.  Car is for sale locally as well.

More pictures will be sent upon request.  I will take specific pictures if requested to the best of my ability.

V= Flint Michigan plant
1212= Engine Assembly Date
CKZ= L-48, 4 speed

GM extends production at Detroit factory until early 2020

Fri, Feb 22 2019

General Motors Co said on Friday it had extended the production at its Detroit Hamtramck plant until January 2020, against an earlier plan to discontinue production in June this year. The No.1 U.S. automaker is revamping its operations, which include plant closures and thousands of job cuts, as it looks to boost profitability in the wake of declining U.S. auto sales. The Hamtramck plant will continue to produce the Chevrolet Impala and Cadillac CT6 sedans until early next year, the company said. "We are balancing production timing while continuing the availability of Cadillac advanced technology features currently included in the CT6-V — the Blackwing Twin-Turbo V-8 (engine) and Super Cruise (driver assistance system)," GM said. The plant has already discontinued production of the Buick LaCrosse sedan and Chevrolet Volt electric hybrid car. Detroit-based union United Auto Workers' President Gary Jones said GM's decision to continue production at the plant was a relief for the workers as well as their families. "We commend GM for today's decision and we reiterate the importance of a collective bargaining process in times like these," Jones said. Reporting by Ankit Ajmera. Related Video:
