The seller offers for sale this 1974 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, powered by a 6.2-litre V8 petrol engine, paired with an automatic transmission. This third-generation Corvette coupe was restored in 2016. During this work the car received a replacement engine producing 360 hp as well as a new interior, so the car is not presented as fully original but rather as an extensively refreshed example. A Dutch taxation report is available, valuing the car at 36,500 euros, and the car currently holds a valid inspection.

The C3 Corvette, produced from 1968 to 1982, remains one of the most recognisable American sports cars ever built. Its dramatic coke-bottle styling, inspired by the Mako Shark II concept, gave the Corvette an exotic silhouette that still turns heads today: a long, sculpted nose, pronounced fender arches, and a tapering tail. The Stingray name, revived on the C3 from 1969, has since become synonymous with this generation, and the removable roof panels of the coupe offer open-air motoring with the rigidity of a fixed-roof car.

With its V8 soundtrack, effortless torque, and relaxed automatic transmission, this Corvette delivers the classic American grand touring experience: dramatic looks, easy cruising, and genuine performance thanks to the 360 hp under the bonnet. Third-generation Corvettes enjoy an enthusiastic global following, with excellent parts availability and a well-established club scene, making them one of the most accessible and rewarding ways into American classic car ownership. This example, benefiting from a documented restoration and a substantial mechanical upgrade, presents an appealing opportunity for the enthusiast seeking a Corvette that is ready to be enjoyed.
