Hey gang, I have a line on a 1974 coupe for parts but mine is a 1975. Does anyone know if these parts are compatible? The guy only wants a hundred bucks for it but if I can't use any of the parts, its a waste...I appreciate any feedback on this...thanks
1974 vs 1975

For a hundred bucks - is there anything left worth using? I'm certain you can find enough little trinkets and bobbles to exchange for the ones on your current ride so my suggestion is go for it.

Ya I agree, was just concerned they might not fit but I think some interior knobs, handles etc might be ok. Thanks for the reply
I don't know a lot about....well, a lot, or 74/75 Corvettes but I believe they are quite similar. The only difference I can spot off the top is the two piece rear on the 74 as opposed to the one piece on the 75....although not all 74's had two piece rears.
They atre very close to the same. Emblems are different. I believe the front bumper is different, although it looks the same. Early 74's had a two piece rear, but the one piece should fit. There are a few other differences in styling, however most the mechanical and structural is the same. And definatly for $100 it is worth it. Let me know how it works out for you. You may have a customer for some parts.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I checked it out again today and think I can use the mirrors, some chrome pieces, door locks and maybe seats so far. Looks like I already made my money back for sure. I don't need any of the body panels so if anyone is interested I'll be looking to unload the rest soon. Thanks again....
don't forget a lot of those driveline parts exchange with '65 - '79 vets so you can make a lot of people happy. You can consult vendors like Corvette Central to figure out interchangability: Corvette Central | Corvette Parts and Accessories including Exhaust and Performance. I would be interested in the brake calipers if you want to sell them. Where are you located?
