This sexy corvette, is one of the rare 4 speed cars. They only made 11% of the corvettes in 1974 with the 4 speed transmission and they are getting very hard to find. It has a rebuilt 350 v8, with a newer edelbrock intake and edelbrock carb, for maximum performance. Newer tires, exhaust, brake lines and 4 wheel disc brakes. Hard to find these 4 speed cars. The color is right, and best of all it's selling without reserve!
