I looked too fast and didnt see the $36,995.00 and thought it said $3695.00 and thought wow that is a good deal, the car is near Boston Mass. , whats it on Philly Craiglist. Looks clean tho, but with over 100K on the speedo not clean enough for the $$$ they ask. IMHO.
Peace,,, Moosie

There's no amount of clean or lower numbers on a speedo to make that thing worth half of what they are asking.

They're asking that much because it's the rare "2 Door Coupe" and not the usual "4 Door Sedan Corvette" that everybody already has.

It's because it's the last year for the 454.
Come on, everyone knows the last of anything is worth.... well.... $36,000.
Since the talking point is the 454, why not at least 1 picture of the engine compartment?
Regards,
Alan

You could find in todays market a much better car for $20,000.

They obviously don't realize that the 454 engine was carried over for the first quarter of the 75 model year, which would make a 75 454 worth the $36,000 price tag, especially if also a convertible. I seriously doubt that car would even exist.

But for a 74 with what looks to be a repaint, single style back bumper, and over 100k on the speedo, they should stay on their meds.


Edit: Think it was first quarter, but pretty sure it was even less time then that!
