1 Owner 40 years 1974 Corvette Stingray - A True Survivor - $1000's Under Book!

Description for Chevrolet Corvette 1974

This beautiful Stingray is a True Survivor! One owner loved and cared for this car over 40 years since purchased new. And you can tell by the low mileage - 74,025 miles (documented and proven with service receipts!), and fine condition.

Factory power steering, power brakes, power windows, factory air, AM/FM radio, T- Tops, tilt wheel, and factory theft deterrent. Car starts, drives, stops, excellent - runs like a champ.

This car is a survivor, well above average condition, fully documented and has reserve set SEVERAL thousands below Average Blue Book. If you wish to make me a "buy it now" offer, contact me directly and I can accept your offer and end the auction by awarding the car to you for the agreed price.

Notable Imperfections: The factory AM/FM radio works, but receives only the stronger signals where I live, sound quality is less than modern cars. The bottom of the door cards are scuffed. The top of one rubber gasket is damaged on the Passenger A-pillar, where the T-Top clamp has scuffed it. Front badge, some of the red color has flaked off.

It is a very striking car - well maintained and well documented…one of the nicest examples of an unrestored survivor in existence.

I purchased the car in 2014 from the original owner, a friend of mine. I have all of his original documents, keys, sales slip, title showing sale date of 4/25/1974, maintenance receipts, etc plus receipts for the approx $4,000 that I spent to make sure ignition, brakes, exhaust, carburetor, and cooling all function as they should. You can get in this car and drive it for hours with no problem, or you can show it and likely win awards for originality and excellent original condition. I have decided to sell the car due to the recent purchase of another collector car.This is a private sale offered directly by the owner. The title is clean and clear, in my name.

The C3 Corvettes have been value priced for a long time and still are. As the chrome bumper cars are shooting up so quickly, they are also pulling up these, the first year after chrome.I cannot think of any other vintage, high end, sports car inthis kind of condition,at this price point. This particular car will be an exceptional investment due to the documentation that is included.

Inspection by your mechanic at your expense is encouraged but only prior to the end of the auction. You can not win the auction and then decide if you want the car. We can offer any additional pictures of any detail for interested parties. I have a professional lift in my garage and we can also offer a live walk-around session via Skype to look closely at any detail you'd care to see. There are no excuses with this car and it will not disappoint!

Also, mileage is now around 72,200 because I drove the car to Milwaukee and back today. Runs great, sounds mean and tough - deeper pitch exhaust note than late model Vettes. Feel free to contact me with questions. Thanks for bidding!
