and if I was insane.
Why lose your mind in a 74 sb.

This car would become more expensive to rebuild than to buy a good one.

Funny he doesn't say one thing about the engine, and no pics either. I wonder if it's even got one?

Holy crap! :eek: Looks like someone tried to bring that poor Vetteback from the dead and gave up. Along the way the must have got a deal on a "New ZR-1 rear bumper cover" :crazy:

So Im the only one that thinks that its not that bad? lol I guess my projects must start alot rougher than most. As long as the frames good, it dont look that hard. If it was'nt so far away Id atleast go check it out. If it were a 68-71 Id go check it out anyway!

It almost looks like mine when I got it. :eek: Luckily mine didn't really have any rust and the interior was good. I can't imagine at this point putting that much work into another one, but I'm sure when this one is completed I'll forget how long it took. :)

I have eBay sending me stuff every day that matches "1974 Corvette" and "74 Corvette" and I never saw this.

Looks like a pretty good deal for 1700 if only for parts. If I had the space to put it, I would look for something like it. :yesnod:
