Inherited a C3
A couple of years ago I inherited Dad's '74 Corvette. I have never really been a Chevrolet fan but I always liked the older Vettes. This one started it's life, as Dad put it, "Banana Red" more widely known as yellow. After a brief scuffle with a guardrail, it's true colors were revealed.
As far as I know the only mods were the side pipes and the color. I have replaced the fuel tank, rear spring, rebuilt the transmission, adding 2 electric fans and am in the process of installing a FAST system, pointless distributor and adding a 12v power point under the hood.
I look forward to input from the Forum.
