Corvette challenge car 1974 4speed

Not mine wish it was ,but one of you need this!!! http://greenville.craigslist.org/cto/2658228629.html

but it matches your team color!

SOMEONE BUY THIS DAMMIT! Holy crap, what a deal!

I could see myself daily driving that. It would be a step up from my Jeep.

Am I gonna be the first to say... needs moar LSx. Screaming deal though. Glad it's not closer.

I had a friend who was a Corvette collector. He used to say that the cheapest Corvettes of any series were the "fours": 1954, 1964, 1974, 1984 (Don't know about the 2004). The '74 is pretty near the bottom of the barrel.

oh god. is that greenville sc?

Yes. So am I! Unfortunately, I have no cash. None at all.

Man if I had $1500 lying around...

Oh man... i would rock that, and i even don't really like vettes.

I would do something awful to that, though... believe me.

Any reason why the 4 model cars are they lowest?

Man I always wanted a crappy 70's Vette and make it a L88 racecar replica.

I wish I had $1500

so do i. so do i.

if it was a bit cheaper, id proavlay buy it and kick my own ass later. i hate c3 vettes, but for the right price....

Here's my understanding of it as a non-Corvette guy:

53 was first, 55 got a V8, 54 is stuck in the middle.

63 was the split window, 65 got disc brakes and big blocks, 64 was stuck in the middle.

74 bumpers got big and heavy and they were choked down with new smog equipment

84 was a new model and it took a while to get the bugs worked out and to get the power up

1984 also had the 1 year only cross fire injection

my understanding...

crap < C5 Z-06 > goodness.

1974 was the last year you could get a big block or side exhaust. The 1982 Vette also had Crossfire injection and all cars built that year were automatic only.

E36 M3sky. That's here!

74 was first year with rubber/urethane rear bumper (two piece), last year before catalytic converter, last year for big block.

75 (mine) lowest non 6cylinder horsepower rating of 165 at the rear wheels on the L48. 185 on the L82.

This is a decent buy if it's all there. (And the kick up on the frame isn't rusted out.)

Ooooo I have insurance money too...

2004s are an anniversary edition, for whatever that is worth, and the last of the C5s.

But really no better than any other 02-04 C4.

Also, check the windshield surround (birdcage) for rust. You can look through the front windshield where it meets the surround. If the owner does not mind, check behind the front kick panels in the foot wells ( phillips head screw to remove) for the body mounts and metal structure behind. Rust on the birdcage is terribly difficult and expensive to repair. Or for that price...just drive it until it falls apart and walk away.

is this a Georgia vette? do they rust that bad there
