Rolling into the Beach Hop auction with attitude and unmistakable presence, this 1974 Corvette Stingray is the perfect blend of classic American muscle and street-ready style.

Finished in a striking custom green paint job, this Vette absolutely pops in the sun and looks right at home cruising the strip or rumbling down the boulevard. The aggressive stance is perfectly set off by a set of mean Centerline wheels, giving it that unmistakable period-correct hot-rod vibe.

Slide inside and youre greeted by a clean all-black interior simple, classic, and driver-focused. Everything about this car keeps the spotlight where it belongs: on the driving experience.

Under the hood sits the legendary L82 350 small-block V8, paired with the bulletproof Turbo 400 automatic transmission. While the car remains largely true to its factory roots, a few tasteful upgrades bring the attitude:

Performance inlet manifold

Headers

Custom exhaust system delivering a deep, beefy rumble that sounds every bit as tough as it looks

The result? A Corvette that starts easy, drives strong, and sounds absolutely wicked when you put your foot down.

This is the kind of C3 that turns heads wherever it goes a mostly stock survivor with just the right hot-rod touches to make it stand out from the crowd.

Whether you're looking for a Beach Hop cruiser, a weekend muscle car, or a classic American icon with real presence, this green Stingray delivers the goods.
