Pics of our freshly restored 74 4-speed coupe.
This is a real nice low mileage CO, 74 4-speed, air coupe we found in North Carolina; its a solid car with all the right options so we decided to bring it back to its factory original state. 
Bringing C3's back to life one at a time!

Thanks still have a couple of small odds and end to do but the car was test driven yesterday and it pulls hard and drives very straight, tight and true. Very quiet car the interior floors have been dynamatted so its quiet inside with a lot less heat. So far so good!

Beautiful 74. Of all the rubber bumper cars the 74 is my favorite. I like the side profile, it is so sleek because it doe not have the bumperettes sticking out like the 75 up do

Well if that's the case I strongly recommend you go with Sikkens paint that's what we used on this car and its the best. The paint job on this car is flawless and the shine is rich & deep. Pics do not do it justice. Would like to see you're when its done...

Plus 74's are one year cars; the first of the all smooth bumper cars and the last year of the BB. Definitely a C3 every collector should have.

The shoulder belts did not come threaded thru the seats in 74 because they are a one piece unit. The bottom and top is not like the years before it that were two pieces. Also the brake master is original to the car.

Great attention to detail. A couple of those 'details' may be off a bit; but the overall package is "killer"!!!

Something learned! I'm still in doubt of the master cylinder? Not that it came with the car but if it's factory correct? Earlier MC have bleeders along with a different casting. The books aren't in front of me?
