Default Looking for a friend for my '68 tri power!!

Hi all,

I am looking for another C3, so that my '68 427/400 convertible would not feel so lonely in the garage. I decided to look for '74, because it is the last year of big block, and first year of new front & rear bumper style. As I own a convertible already, this one has to be coupe for sure. And I feel a big nostalgia for Orange color, as it was the color of my first C3 - 1977.

I just noticed this dealer ad, which caught my attention, as it fits all parameters, that I am interested in:

What do you guys think about the price and condition, based on what you see in the ad? Many thanks for any input!

Seems a little pricey to me. Didn't 1974 have a split rear bumper? i'd have to look it over real real close to verify the low mileage. JMO

Thanks for input! Maybe not so obvious from the photo, but it looks at it has split rear bumper. Due to the angle of photo it is difficult to see. What could be the realistic price of '74 big block coupe in this condition?

Guys, any views on this? I am still looking at this option pretty seriously. Is it worth the money?

Not crazy about the luggage rack or the add-on sport mirrors. I would like to know why there are no pix of the engine. Otherwise I think the price is almost ok.

Just found more pics of it in dealer's site. Engine bay looks more or less intact for me:
