15-YEARS-OWNED 1974 CHEVROLET CORVETTE COUPE 454 4-SPEED

OVERVIEW

This big-block 1974 Chevrolet Corvette coupe has been owned by the seller for 15 years and is powered by an LS4 454cid V8 mated to a Muncie M21 four-speed manual transmission, both of which are reportedly numbers-matching. It has been upgraded with polished valve covers, Wilwood disc brakes, power steering, and a newer Zoom clutch. Finished in white over a black vinyl interior, this C3 Corvette is now offered with a clear title in the seller’s name.

EXTERIOR – FEATURES

In 2022, the front urethane bumper, retainers, valance, and bolts were replaced by a professional body shop, and the exterior was painted white. Features include pop-up headlights, 454 badging, removable T-tops, rocker moldings, an antenna, and a dual exhaust system.

EXTERIOR – WHEELS AND TIRES

Rally 15-inch wheels with polished trim rings are wrapped in 255/70 Mickey Thompson raised-white-letter tires that were installed in June 2018.

INTERIOR – FEATURES

The cockpit is fitted with dual black vinyl high-back bucket seats, matched to the door panels, dash, center console, and carpeting. Features include power steering, air conditioning, Stingray-embroidered floor mats, manual-crank windows, a radio, and dash-mounted map pockets.

INTERIOR – GAUGES

Instrumentation includes a 160-mph speedometer, a 7,000-tachometer, and auxiliary gauges for the fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and voltage. The five-digit mechanical odometer reads 53,590 miles, which the seller reports to be accurate.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION

The reportedly numbers-matching 454cid big-block V8 has been upgraded with polished aluminum valve covers. Maintenance history includes an oil change in March 2023, the installation of a Zoom clutch and a new pressure plate and throwout bearing in November 2022, a starter replacement at the same time, and a tune-up and the installation of ACDelco spark plugs in October 2022. Power is sent to the back wheels via a reportedly numbers-matching Muncie M21 four-speed manual transmission and a 3.55:1 rear end.

UNDERCARRIAGE

The braking system has a four-wheel Wilwood disc setup; the brake fluid was flushed in November 2022. The shock absorbers have been replaced with ACDelco units.
