Vehicle Description
An affordable Stingray is already alluring... but rarely do you
find a stick-shift, T-top 1973 Chevrolet Corvette with its original
V8 and plenty invested to keep it a head-turner. That's why this
sleek machine is a fleeting opportunity.
C3 Corvettes have the look of distinction, and so nobody who sees
this car in your driveway will question how affordable it really
is. That's especially true since this one was treated to a full
professional respray in 2016. The Crimson Red has a sophisticated
tone that stands apart from the rest of the bold red 'Vetts out
there. And because it has a clearcoat shine, it radiates with a
terrific modern luster. And speaking of modern looks, we all know
'73 as the debut of the urethane front bumpers front. These gave
the C3 an appearance of one long continuous wave, and it made the
'73 much more of a designer's work of art. But just because this
was a more streamlined car did not mean it skipped out on
brightwork. It just made great features much more noticeable, like
the Rally wheels, rocker panels, rear bumper, and optional luggage
rack.
The factory-correct tan interior is a great complementing color to
the sophisticated crimson. It has an understated look that gives
this American classic an almost European tone. Everything looks
original, but it has a far fresher feeling because there was a
solid investment in restoring all the main pieces in 2016. This has
all the features you want, including factory auxiliary gauges in
the center of the dash, and just below it, there's an updated AM/FM
stereo. You'll love hopping in, grabbing the three-spoke sports
steering wheel, and gazing at the deep dual pod speedo and tach as
you cruise around in your classic 'Vette. While this one has
provisions for R134a air conditioning, the best wind will be when
you take out the T-tops and let the world see the smile on your
face.
The original, numbers-matching 350 cubic inch V8 is still providing
the power, and it looks great sitting under the hood with its
chrome distributor shield and bold orange valve covers. Plus, if
you're a Corvette person, we bet you're marveling at how the air
topper still has the correct diaphragm to help breath cowl hood's
cooler air. The trusty small-block has been well maintained to fire
up on command, and its four-barrel carburetor setup helps deliver a
throaty exhaust note. It has a great throttle response, and you get
complete control over this V8 with the desirable and original
Muncie M20 four-speed manual transmission. Add in more driver's
features like the fully-independent suspension, four-wheel disc
brakes, and the grip of BF Goodrich T/A tires, and this is one of
the best all-around sports cars of the '70s.
Great paint, great investments, and great originality come together
to make a great deal on this Stingray. So you know this total
package 'Vette will not be staying with us long. Call today!!!
