          I know my dad has been looking for an old vette, don't remember if it was this year or not. I'll check.

            1974 was the last year for the 454 big block in a Corvette, the last year before catalytic convertors, and the first year for soft fascias. It's not as popular as the 1968-73 Stingrays, but it's still a significant car. Bilsteins and a composite rear spring will give you a great improvement in ride and handling. With that big block, you'd better get the A/C fixed because those pigs get HOT inside! The rear window was removable in earlier Corvettes, but I believe they went to the fixed window in 1973. Reproduction parts are plentiful -- maybe not the cheapest car to own, but except for a small block, you'll probably not find a cheaper Corvette to own. If this were a vert, I'd be raiding my 401K right now.
