This striking 1974 Chevrolet Corvette comes with a truly unique backstory. Originally owned by a woman who cherished the car for an estimated 48 years, this Corvette was clearly loved and preserved with care throughout her ownership. Her legacy lives on in this C3, which has only grown more iconic with time.
In 2022, the vehicle found its way into the hands of a classic car enthusiast who carefully upgraded its performance while respecting its originality. The base model L48 350ci V8-originally rated at 195 horsepower-was transformed into an estimated 370hp street machine, breathing new life into the classic small block.

Key Performance Upgrades Include:

Aluminum air intake (replacing the original cast iron intake)
Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor tuned for increased fuel and air flow
Upgraded camshaft to support higher compression and better top-end power
Custom engine retune to optimize performance (shop-tested, estimated at 370hp)

While the car hasn't been dyno-tested, both the previous owner and a reputable local classic car shop manager agreed-it feels every bit like a 370-horsepower build.

This Corvette retains its classic 1970s charm while offering an unmistakably enhanced driving experience, with a powerband that makes it feel alive on the open road. Whether you're a collector, a performance enthusiast, or someone who simply appreciates a car with soul and story, this Vette delivers.
