Good evening everyone, I have a '74 Stingray that has mostly original parts. I am looking to gain some knowledge about my car from this site. I may do a complete restoration one day, but I'm not sure if it's worth it or if it even needs it. I'm an Automotive apprentice and I can do a bit of bodywork, too. Seems like a great site to be on, wish I joined earlier.

Welcome VenomC3! If you have any questions, just ask away! Hopefully someone will be able to get you an answer! As stated, post pics of your ride! We love seeing pictures of the cars.

Well I had the chance to take a quick shot of it yesterday as I went to retrieve my summer driver from storage, but the car is under a tarp with a blanket of dust, so before I dig it out, I wanted to do some more research on it. I mean, if I'm opening a can of worms or not. It is still stock, original 454 motor, 56,000 miles on it, to make a long story short, the only thing that is not original is the paint. (it's white, did I mention that?) I have already replaced the drive belts, etc., the carpet (ugh-old car smell) and I will need to do the brakes on it soon.

welcome aboard--let's the '74!!

I really love the C3 convertibles. They seem rather rare though. Either way, the "whale" is arguably the most noticeable Corvette out there--aside from the split window C2s.

I love the Stingrays. It was this model and body styling that got me hooked on Vettes in the first place back in the day. I hope to own one, some day. Welcome to this great forum. Can't wait to see pics of your beast.
