Re: 1974 Corvette Convertible 4 speed 454
Thanks guys.
Lynn sounds like you need this time capsule to bring you back to 1979. Offers / Trades?

Re: 1974 Corvette Convertible 4 speed 454
What a beautiful car. I love the color. I see the GR70x15 tires on the paperwork. That meant it would have originally come with the infamous Firestone 500 exploding radials! Have you checked to see what's in the spare tire well, in case it still have one in there?

Re: 1974 Corvette Convertible 4 speed 454
Give it a looksie, Stefano. There are some scary Vette stories of those Firestone 500 spare tires simply grenading in 1973-75 Corvette spare tire wells even with no air pressure in them. One recent one ripped the rear quarters and deck open. Eventually the defective belts give way and come apart like a giant ball of rubber bands snapping, only these are steel cable not rayon.
I don't mean to hijack, but go here and see one of my NOS tires ripping apart with no air in it three months ago. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbt...pics/539528/26 and here's one from a Corvette forum: http://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/...-recalled.html
