Not mine, but I wish it was!

Beautiful survivor - original paint and extremely original car. Previous owner is a member on here and NastyZ28 and did an outstanding job preserving the car after he found it in a garage in the early 2000's.

Pretty cool car, the year I graduated from High School. I like the lack of AC.

I thought the 74 cars came with radial tires?

Corvettes started with radial tires in 1973, I believe the 1974 Z28 came with Wide Ovals.

Mine came with the Firestone Wide 60 Oval's.

Thats my old car! Guy is trying to flip it for a huge gain at $40K.

It sat inside since it was new. Original 4 tires and wheels were on it when I bought it. All original drivetrain.
They were took off when new and replaced with Cragars and side pipes.

love this car ! what happened to the stripes?

**Jonesy** · #9 02-18-2023, 01:37 PM

I decided repaint as little as possible. The trunk lid and rear spoiler needed to be repainted due to the guy storing stuff on it for 23 years as it sat in a garage. Front valance and front header plus hood also then got repainted as I decided to just get rid of the stripes. It was a non stripe car so I went with it. I debated several times about keeping it day 2 but that just wasnt my thing. Very original car and still is. The pinstriping on the sides was taken off by my 2 thumbnails and hours and hours of patience. I did not want to harm the original paint. I wish I would have just sold it to someone here who would appreciate it.
