What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1974 Chevrolet Corvette express a strong affection for the car, particularly appreciating its power, handling, and classic looks. Many enjoy the thrill of driving this vintage model, especially with its notable performance features. However, some drivers mention issues with comfort during longer rides and the need for maintenance and restoration in certain cases. Despite these drawbacks, the joy of owning such a distinctive vehicle is a common theme."
Love driving this car, even though it is modified, still gets a lot of "thumbs up". Handling is pretty good, I have replaced the weather strips around the windows and on the T Tops, but still get some leakage during a heavy rain-everall -a Fun car to drive
April 17, 2011Performance - Well what can u expect from a big block 454 engine. A shame its not manual tho... Build Quality - Well the body work is good since is fiber glass, doesent rust. And the americans are known to make reliable engines. Appearence - Look at the photo. Do i have to say more? Sound is awesome. Cost of Ownership - Well its not the cheapest car to run but i dont pay taxes and MOT once every 2 years. Fun Factor- U might hate american cars before u drove it, but once u drove my baby youd change your mind.
July 12, 2010Very Rare Corvette I owned and sold in 2010. Convertible 4 speed combination. This car looked stock but 406-400 hp livened it up. I also currently own a C5 Vert. This car only 3400 or so out of 37,000 were produced. Last true dual exhaust no cats. Very fast car. Not a car you see everyday and was a neat car to have.

April 18, 2011I have owned my L82 auto for about 13 years now. This has been a great car with plenty of power and looks. The engine does need a rebuild soon. It even still has the original front and rear bumpers still attached, they may not look the best. This car is Bright Yellow with the custom black leather interior, AC, rear window defroster, map light, tilt tele wheel, power brakes. I did upgrade to Bilstein shocks which made a big difference in handling. Great car that I plan to keep for a long time to come.
September 25, 2007this year vette handles great, the L82 that i have runs great, 350 4 speed, power windows and air, she is sweet.
February 7, 2007I bought my L-82 about 1 yr ago, I bought it more for a play around car. Since the original motor was missing, I figured I could play a bit. I built a 358, which the bottom end will hold up to 1200 hp. Just pump gas its putting out about 525 hp, 510 lb of torque. It my get a boost eventually, but I do not think the car will handle it. Until I can find an original block, let have a little fun.
February 20, 2007I like everything about this car. Its 41 years old and still looks fantastic! Its a very beautiful car and runs great! You would have a hard time finding another one in this good of shape! I only wish it had the 4 speed in it!
July 4, 2014It scooted along much better after dropping a rebuilt, blue-printed/balanced, 4-bolt main, slant plug head, small block in there. Other goodies added: Holley double-pumper, Hooker headers/side pipes, American Racing five-spoke wheels, remote/dual oil filter, Edelbrock intake, Turbo 400 transmission (with B&M shift kit), NOS (for a while), Elgin camshaft, TRW triple valve springs, etc, etc, etc.
April 3, 2008Performance: Its 34 years old, it was good for its day (L82 350/TH400 Trans) Build Quality: Ok for back then, not so good now Appearance: Who cannot forget the Stingray shape Cost Of Ownership: Alot. 13 mpg on a good day, 7-9 if you keep you foot into it Fun Factor: Come on its a vette :)
April 1, 2010Well there is everything to love about this car, built in 1974 and still looks stylish till this day. My car is currently a project car and is in no shape to run, it is still a good looking and sounding car when it worked.
