Reluctantly selling my baby to build cash reserves for my business. A #'s matching '74 L-82 Corvette Convertible. The car spent from 1974 to 1998 in Texas with the original owner, then on to owner number two (the last owner) where it sat in a garage undercover in between week-end drives. Repainted in 1998 in its original color of Corvette Medium Blue, she presents herself very well. SHE HAS NOT SEEN RAIN SINCE 1985! Not many nice, #'s matching C3 L-82 roadsters left out there. The original black leather interior is in very nice shape being that car has always been garaged and pampered. The Turbo400 transmission shifts crisp, and the AC is complete and WORKS GREAT! This is a rare NO RADIO car (aftermaket radio shown to play cassettes only, note no antenna). It has a new black soft-top. All lights and all electrical devices and gauges are 100% operable (except the clock). Brakes have had the stainless steel sleeve upgrades and work perfectly. There are ZERO leaks in this car, doors shut well and the manual windows operate with ease. Weather stripping is in good shape, jack and spare are complete, the 255/60-15 Goodyear GT radial tires are almost new. The wheels and stainless are in great shape. The odometer is showing 95,750 miles with 10,000 miles on a rebuild of the original L-82 (250hp) 350 engine (Built to factory specs, not decked, original #'s still visible). The L-82 was the highest priced engine option that year, rated at only 20hp less than the 454 big block offered that year. This engine was the successor to the famed LT-1 small block which ended its run in '72. This engine provides great performance and doesn't have the cooling problems often found on the big-block cars. She runs great and hooks up hard, care MUST be taken to keep her straight when she hits 2nd gear (trust me!). This Corvette is a very straight, no-hit car, a very nice running and driving Corvette with the right adult owner history. Corvette guys tell me to have the car NCRS judged, I may do so soon. Updates since these pics were taken - correct alternator and master cylinder cover have been installed. I have the original black air cleaner lid. Car is 100% - great driver, fly in and drive home... hate to sell, but need to be realistic - I'll get another one someday... Dave (617)513-7407
