1974 Chevrolet Corvette

1974 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible â?" Red on Red, 350 V8, Numbers-Correct Survivor Why This Car Is Special The 1974 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray holds a unique place in C3 history. It was the last model year to wear the Stingray name on both the coupe and convertible, and it was also the final year of the classic twin-nostril chrome front bumper on the Corvette â?" a detail that distinguishes it immediately from the restyled 1975 models that followed. For buyers who want a true open-air, mid-1970s Corvette experience with the original long-hood, short-deck proportions that Bill Mitchell's design team created, the 1974 is the sweet spot. Chevrolet produced 37,502 Corvettes for the 1974 model year. Of those, 5,474 were convertibles â?" just under 15 percent of total production.
