Default Hell0, My Name is David and I am a Vetteahaulic

I have always wanted a C-3 convertible and after owning many coupes I am bringing this numbers matching 1974 Convertible automatic without air home next week.
No planned changes for now, just clean up the engine bay over the Winter, and driver her in the Spring. 71,000 miles on the odometer and I will be the third owner.
She will get excellent care in the Howard home and many top down rides are forthcoming.
Seller is not a Corvette Forum member so this car is new to the forum, and to the Corvette Registry, but that will be corrected in the future.
Come on Spring.
David

Very nice, enjoy the ride. The convertible top is only for emergency use. You will find that you never want to put the top up.

Welcome back to the C3 world. That's a beautiful car, and should match your C7 nicely. Happy driving, and I hope to see it at Carlisle!

Nice car, I had a 1970 coupe in Marlboro Maroon, which is close I think. Good luck with Car

Very nice ride, always drive with the top down, I think, only one time I drove our 71 with the top up! Enjoy that C3!

Beautiful and my favorite color for a Corvette!

What color is that? not a 74 OEM color, maybe? Or maybe C7 Long Beach Red?

Nice car. I particularly like the fact that there is no luggage rack.
