Vehicle Description
The Chevrolet Corvette, known colloquially as the Vette, or Chevy
Corvette, is a sports car manufactured by Chevrolet. The car has
been produced through seven generations. The first model, a
convertible, was introduced at the GM Motorama in 1953 as a concept
show car. Myron Scott is credited for naming the car after the type
of small, maneuverable warship called a corvette. Originally built
in Flint, Michigan and St. Louis, Missouri, the Corvette is
currently manufactured in Bowling Green, Kentucky and is the
official sports car of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this numbers matching 1973
Chevrolet Corvette L-82 Convertible for consideration. Finished in
a lovely shade of Blue Green metallic, it has a very understated,
but classy look. This particular Corvette has been in Kentucky for
a while, then to Ohio and just recently Michigan. The car has had a
recent repaint in its original color and shows very well. The
bucket seats are covered in dark saddle leather ( code 422) and
remain in good condition. Other features include tilt wheel, L-82
engine, factory 15" rally wheels, new alternator, 4 speed manual
transmission, owners manual
The top L-82 350cid V8 is a strong runner and sounds great. Factory
specification states output at 250hp and it certainly feels like
it. It has great pick up and is a joy to drive. The 4-speed manual
transmission is somewhat hard to find and is a great feature in a
sports car. The gorgeous exterior of this early model with its
chrome bumpers is particularly desirable. A great find for those
who love the 70's era Corvette and enjoy a uniquely beautiful ride
to enjoy, call us with any questions you may have while it's still
here!
