Direct link. https://www.hobbycarcorvettes.net/co...lock-for-sale/

Now the CF nit-picking can begin.

Nice car. see a couple of things on first look.
- Headers. Plus or minus depending on your preference.
- AIR pump installed but not hooked up. No belt. Could be an emissions issue depending on state.
- Rear bumper has been replaced. No longer the correct two-piece. Presume fiberglass. Add mentions a repaint. What about the front bumper?

Looks nice. I would lose the headers, the top half of the engine has been painted the bottom half has not. Underside is **** can black.

The original link is to the dealer's homepage. Go look at his "Just Arrived" section and you clearly find the red '74 big block that the OP was referring to.

It looks better than the red 1971 LT-1 that does not have a 1971 LT-1 hood on it..
