Except that it may have swiss cheese for a frame :eek:
Why is their seat belt gathered on the driver's side of the passenger seat? My belts come from the door area.
Note the radio ***** are not centered in the bezel.
I'd request the numbers off of the block and pics of the underside.

Mick, there also was a Maroon 454 '74 coupe that was under $10K on eBay the other day. Did'nt keep the ad, but you could "search" it under "1974 Corvette" and find it.

A big block with A/C and power and matching #'s at that price :eek:
Hey, go check it out. If the frame is tight - I would buy if I were looking. Even if #'s dont match, this is still a good buy at the current price - course the auction aint over yet!

Re: Anybody know this car? (micks69)
I emailed the guy about the frame and got this reply:
Hi
Frame is straight!
No rust!
Some seems could be better adjusted!
Some seams could be better adjusted??? What does that mean?? :confused:

Re: Anybody know this car? (1970 Stingray)
And "STOCK DUAL RACING MIRRORS" I missed that one on the factory option sheet!!! With the optional hole in the left door panel for the inside remote.
This guy has to be a dealer!!! IMO I would be very cautious about this car. Too many things are missing, incorrect, or not working (air filter, fan shroud, headers, headlight vaccum, gauges, color, misalaigned doors and hood, seats that don't fold foward, rear window trim, embelms) the list probably continues. It is a BB 1974 Corvette but not much of it stock or original.
You may want to check with some of the people that gave him feedback from previous car sales on ebay. Just to see how happy they are with the cars purchased from him.

I have said this before... and I will say it again...
YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR....
also... did you ever notice... Some Corvette owners know everything about Corvettes when they own them.... When the car goes up for sale.... they become uneducated
