In 1974, despite the rising prices of both coupe and convertible models, the Corvette maintained strong sales, with Chevrolet producing a total of 37,502 cars. The coupe dominated sales, while the convertible faced a further decline, with only 5,474 units produced.
Recently, a 1974 coupe surfaced on eBay, purportedly pulled from a warehouse after long-term storage, described by the seller as a “true barn find.” Though complete, it’s evident from the photos that the car requires mechanical attention, though rust seems not to be a significant issue.
While the extent of originality remains uncertain, the whole condition is impressive, making it an enticing prospect for collectors. The engine, reportedly in good condition, presents a promising starting point for restoration.
Identified by the VIN (1Z37J4S406870) as a 1974 Corvette coupe with the base 350 V8 engine producing 195 horsepower, this car presents a compelling project opportunity.
Listed at $11,500, the seller is open to offers, with seven interested parties currently monitoring the listing. With 28 days remaining for inspection and decision-making, the Corvette awaits its next owner in North Port, Florida.
