Finally bought a Stingray

All lifelong, I've wanted a Stingray since they were the first Vette's I fell in love with as a young boy.

This is not a highly-desirable big block with chrome bumpers, but I still love it!

1974 Stingray, Mille Miglia Red, L-48, 4spd, deluxe interior, PS, A/C, 20k miles and all original except for a repaint.

Great looking red '74 with a nice combination of options. It looks like all it needs is someone to get out there and enjoy it. Nice find. Congratulations!
