Car description |

Up for auction is my 1974 Corvette project car. Originally Ontario Orange. It has the optional250HP L-82 350 and T-400automatic.The odometer reads 100,368. It still retains itsoriginal, orn with,matching numbers engine and transmission. The title is still in the original owners name.The title is from 1974 and still says "new vehicle". The title is clear with no leinholders.
The car has ben stripped of all its paint.Its nowin bare fiberglass so there is nothing hidden by paint.The fiberglass bodyis in good shape.All bonding strips are intact. There is only one area in the left front corner where there is a small repair. I took a close up picture which is in the link below.Both the nose piece and the rear bumper are aftermarket fiberglass pieces from Eckler's. The rear bumper is a later 80-82 style with the integral spoilerThe frame is in excellent shape with no signs of rust or rot.
The interior is all original. It does show some wear but its complete and virtually undisturbed.The original AM/FM radio is still in the dash.All the glass isin good shape and the windows roll up and down as they should.
All the parts that were taken offthe car are boxed up- headlight assemblies, ood latches, adiator, ondenser radiator support, tc are all accounted for. Ive gone through all the parts, aid them out on a moving blanket and took pictures and close ups of everything. Again, ee the link below.The only itemthat I can tell is missingis the original air cleaner assembly. I cant guarantee every nut, olt washer or screw is accounted for, utit looks as though 99% is there. Included are someNOS and new aftermarket odds and ends. The fan shroud is pictured but be advised that it is brokenand will need to be repaired.
As you can see, he car doesn't run. The engine is free and spins. The oil looks good. I can see no reason why the engine wouldn't run if you supplied it with some spark and some fuel.The transmission fluid smells good and isn't burnt. Again, don't see any reason why the trans wouldn't be in good working order either. Master cylinder is off and naturally the car has no working brake pedal. The engine wiring harnesses and forward lamp harness are intact and look to be in good, seable condition with no splices or damage.Spare tire is missing. Everything from the windshield back seems to be untouched for the most part. The car looks to have aftermarket stainless exhaust installed at some point.
I don't think it would take much to get this in drivable condition. It would definitely make an excellent winter project for someone.

Im no Corvette expert. So if there was something I didn't mention, ou need additional pictures emailed to you,orif there is something you need clarification on, lease ask!I will try and answer all questions to the best of my ability. Buying a car sight unseen is never a good idea and I don't recommend it.If your within driving distance, would encourage you to come look at the car in person and go over all the parts. Or have a club member or a fellowforum memberthat's local to me come look at it on your behalf. The car is located on the south shore of Long Island, Y approx. 55 miles east of NYC. Im very close to LI MacArthur Airport.
