Just wondered why the 74 specifically....not much difference in body etc between 74-77.

Just to mix it up a bit...My 75!

Default minor differences

I am getting this information from "Classic Corvette the first 30 years by Mike Mueller"
"1974 was the first year for the rubber bumper in the back (split)
1975 the rubber bumper became one piece
1976 cowl flap induction was traded for forward inlet to reduce noise but the vent in the hood stayed.
1977 ornamental vent gone from hood.
other than that pretty much the same styles..

77 hood has nothing.

74 bumpers didn't have those goofy looking bumperettes on them

Okay, you don’t see this request very often for just ’74 Corvettes. Here is mine when I started four years ago.



Here she is now!
