1974 Project corvette coupe for sale in Wellington Fla
The drive train appears very good. I bought recently to fix up like a 74 my wife and I had when younger.
This one is pretty original and fairly unmolested, suspension will need going through as the original rubber is pretty much shot. They sell poly kits on here for a couple hundred dollars.
the car had been sitting before I bought it recently and I had to put a new gas tank and sending unit in, also replaced the rag joint on steering .
Decided I wanted to get back to my 40 ford project so decided to sell.
MSD distributor and Mallory box pictured is not included.
A complete new clear cap HEI with tach drive is included,
but not yet installed. the Mallory box don't really fit in engine compartment anyway and the tach wont work with the MSD distributor anyway.
To test the engine I ran a electric fuel pump also but it runs smooth and no smoke whatsoever even on first start I drove car around neighborhood and it did very well , was told Target master 4 bolt main crate engine was installed just before parking into storage in 2001.
body is in good shape I would say and wont need much prep work but has a thin area on upper front fender that will need new fiberglass underneath to make stronger.
frame looked nice and also straight to me
front end looks original 74 rear tail has been replaced at some point with an 80s tail
driver door seems good but hits at front gap when opening, pass door looks operates good,
Interior wise it looks pretty good no cracks (except upper dash corner), no tears or burns or rips wear spots on buckets will deff need new carpet (there is a nice red molded kit on here for $165 shipped) and top dash pad no rips or tears in seats and door panels and dash looks OK
Missing from car: factory cowl air cleaner, liner trim from driver side T-top Cant think of anything else right now.
gauges seemed pretty good
pop up headlights will need attention one side is binding.
The rubber body mounts and suspension rubber is original Im sure, and will need replaced I was going to install the polyurethane kit on here complete kit is aprox $250
The driver door has some rust holes in that area also the small sheet metal parts that hold together the nose will need repair or replace to do it right. lower radiator cradle also. Carpet needed obviously but floors being all fiberglass so they wont need attention I don't see any rips or tears on interior seats and upholstery and I see where the vinyl can be dyed with spay paint from corvette shops but Ive never tried it. rear package tray will need new lid frame. Glass all looks real good . no oil or water trans fluid leaks was stored with full radiator so it appears good. Tires look real good but are old so I wouldn't try to set any speed records with it. drive train feels pretty tight but as stated the rubber on trailing arms in rear for sure and front sway bar bushings and such. body is pretty good and straight but will still need repair type glass work in some areas before primer . I don't see where its ever been in a accident . but Im guessing that's why the tail is from a 80s unless the original got wavey like they do or I guess the previous owner could have just liked the later rear spoiler look.
If interested please contact for more specifics and HOOD is not presently on car at the moment but very easy to reinstall and will if sells.
Available for viewing just about day or time also, Thanks, Randy

Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506
Thu, 02 May 2013With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.
GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing
Mon, 29 Jul 2013General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.
Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4
Wed, 29 May 2013Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.
Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck - right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!
