1974 Project corvette coupe for sale in Wellington Fla
The drive train appears very good. I bought recently to fix up like a 74 my wife and I had when younger.
This one is pretty original and fairly unmolested, suspension will need going through as the original rubber is pretty much shot. They sell poly kits on here for a couple hundred dollars.
the car had been sitting before I bought it recently and I had to put a new gas tank and sending unit in, also replaced the rag joint on steering .
Decided I wanted to get back to my 40 ford project so decided to sell.
MSD distributor and Mallory box pictured is not included.
A complete new clear cap HEI with tach drive is included,
but not yet installed. the Mallory box don't really fit in engine compartment anyway and the tach wont work with the MSD distributor anyway.
To test the engine I ran a electric fuel pump also but it runs smooth and no smoke whatsoever even on first start I drove car around neighborhood and it did very well , was told Target master 4 bolt main crate engine was installed just before parking into storage in 2001.
body is in good shape I would say and wont need much prep work but has a thin area on upper front fender that will need new fiberglass underneath to make stronger.
frame looked nice and also straight to me
front end looks original 74 rear tail has been replaced at some point with an 80s tail
driver door seems good but hits at front gap when opening, pass door looks operates good,
Interior wise it looks pretty good no cracks (except upper dash corner), no tears or burns or rips wear spots on buckets will deff need new carpet (there is a nice red molded kit on here for $165 shipped) and top dash pad no rips or tears in seats and door panels and dash looks OK
Missing from car: factory cowl air cleaner, liner trim from driver side T-top Cant think of anything else right now.
gauges seemed pretty good
pop up headlights will need attention one side is binding.
The rubber body mounts and suspension rubber is original Im sure, and will need replaced I was going to install the polyurethane kit on here complete kit is aprox $250
The driver door has some rust holes in that area also the small sheet metal parts that hold together the nose will need repair or replace to do it right. lower radiator cradle also. Carpet needed obviously but floors being all fiberglass so they wont need attention I don't see any rips or tears on interior seats and upholstery and I see where the vinyl can be dyed with spay paint from corvette shops but Ive never tried it. rear package tray will need new lid frame. Glass all looks real good . no oil or water trans fluid leaks was stored with full radiator so it appears good. Tires look real good but are old so I wouldn't try to set any speed records with it. drive train feels pretty tight but as stated the rubber on trailing arms in rear for sure and front sway bar bushings and such. body is pretty good and straight but will still need repair type glass work in some areas before primer . I don't see where its ever been in a accident . but Im guessing that's why the tail is from a 80s unless the original got wavey like they do or I guess the previous owner could have just liked the later rear spoiler look.
If interested please contact for more specifics and HOOD is not presently on car at the moment but very easy to reinstall and will if sells.
Available for viewing just about day or time also, Thanks, Randy

Hot air balloons caught in high winds drag fullsize SUV
Mon, Jul 20 2015A sudden storm front whipped up enough wind to send some hot air balloons flying into the air in Wisconsin over the weekend. One ballon proved so energetic that it was able to drag a fullsize SUV across a field and into a stand of tents. The freak accident occurred at Balloonfest in Waterford, Wisconsin. Spectators were horrified as balloons dragged handlers to the ground and launched with terrified pilots clinging to their baskets. Organizers had started packing up the colorful balloons due to ominous storm clouds when the wind kicked up. "Happened just like that; it was crazy," Nathan Fricke, crew member, told Fox 6. Winds were clocked at 40 to 50 miles per hour. A balloon caught in the wind dragged a large SUV (we think a Suburban or Yukon XL) hundreds of feet and into a cluster of tents on the edge of the staging area where balloons were on display for festival goers. Considering that the SUV surely weighs well over 5,000 pounds, it's lucky that no one was injured in the incident. News Source: Fox6Now Weird Car News Chevrolet GM GMC SUV
Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing
Tue, 21 Sep 2010Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
Porsche 911 tops a list of must-have classics, but No. 2 is more of a surprise
Wed, Aug 9 2023No surprise here: In Europe, the Porsche 911 is the most sought-after classic car. Surprise here: Slip-streaming the 911 in the most sought-after chart compiled by the Car & Classic marketplace is the Ford Mustang. Using the Google search engine as a means to pick the winners, as well as the average prices achieved on the “Car and Classic” website, the venerable 911 was tagged 1.45 million times per month according to data stretching back 15 years. The number of 911Â’s sold though the C&C marketplace was 21,141, at an average price of 58,409 pounds, or $74,300. FordÂ’s pony car, still a popular choice for buyers in Europe, placed second on the list with 1.2 million monthly searches. The average sales price over 15 years was 31,107 pounds ($39,570), and the number of older Mustangs sold reached a total of 8,332. Models that also finished among the charted top 10 include the Land Rover Range Rover, the Corvette, the ultra-classic British favorite Jaguar E-Type and the BMW 3 Series. “Whilst a 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS could set you back the best part of GBP500,000 ($636,000), there are many more affordable models, which bring the average sale price of a 911 on Car & Classic to GBP58,000 ($73,800) – the third highest average selling price of any make and model on the site,” explained Dale Vinten of Car & Classic. According to the site, the Jaguar fetched the highest average selling price: a whopping 89,000 pounds, or $113,000. But thatÂ’s peanuts compared to a Series 1 Roadster in excellent condition, said Vinten. For that, “you can expect to spend up to GBP250,000 ($318,000), A Series 2 or 3 will cost less, as they are not as desirable, but in decent condition you can expect to pay around GBP40,000-GBP50,000. Even a barn find 1969 E-Type Series 2 Roadster can set you back to the tune of GBP33,000 ($42,000)." Launched in 2005, Car & Classic is among EuropeÂ’s most popular classic car clearinghouses. It also runs a stand-alone auction site.
