1974 Corvette L82 – Dark Green with Saddle Interior, 350/250hp, 4-Speed Manual Transmission

The automotive industry underwent significant changes in 1974, with the introduction of low-lead and soon-to-be unleaded fuels. Beginning in 1973, federal mandates required all vehicles to incorporate impact-absorbing 5 mph bumpers, resulting in many American cars sporting bulky, unattractive steel girders. However, the Corvette division of GM brilliantly circumvented this trend by ingeniously concealing the steel structures behind a sleek urethane cover, creating one of the most stylish Corvettes ever built.

This remarkable 1974 Corvette is now 50 years old! It was purchased from the original owner, has been meticulously maintained and shows minimal wear over the past half a century!  It’s been driven only 22,990 miles since new and has been garage-kept its entire life!

This is a standout model, featuring the first year of the flexible rear bumpers, though GM was still perfecting the bumper compound at the time.

This L82 model is fully original and features the highly sought-after 4-speed manual transmission, making it one of the most desirable Corvettes of its year.
