Radial T/A White-letter tiresThis 4-speed L82 1973 Chevrolet
Corvette Convertible offers one-year-only styling that is adored by
many third-generation Corvette aficionados. In fact even esteemed
Corvette designer Larry Shinoda was very fond of the 1973 model
because he thought the combination of the new longer front nosecone
and sharp rear body lines with chrome bumpers was the most similar
to the original designer's goal for the Mako-inspired body
style.Because of government-mandated safety regulations enacted for
1973 the Corvette design team was tasked with developing a new
front end that could withstand a 5 MPH impact without damaging the
lights or safety equipment. The solution was to remove the front
chrome bumpers and install an injection-molded urethane bumper
cover and paint it to match the body color. Ride and handling
issues were also addressed that year as new steel-sleeved rubber
chassis mounts improved road vibrations sound-deadening material
reduced noise inside steel beams in the doors protected passengers
from side impacts and radial tires helped the 1973 Corvette glide
down the road like never before.While the LS4 454 CI big-block was
still available by 1973 the engine had been detuned to 275 HP and
the hot ticket was the new high-revving L82 350/250 HP V-8.
Providing the lightweight front end and nimble handling of a
small-block Stingray the L82 convertible was arguably the best
touring sports car offered by Chevrolet in 1973. This two-top
example is finished in factory-correct Code 974 Elkhart Green paint
and fitted with both an auxiliary hardtop and black soft top. The
black interior features custom wood-grain accents on the console
and door panels a tilt/telescopic steering column and an AM/FM
radio. The L82 350/250 HP engine is backed by a 4-speed manual
transmission and Positraction rear end. Riding on Rally wheels with
BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires the convertible is equipped with air
conditioning power steering and power 4-wheel disc
brakes.Everything on this car works as it should and it is a true
Turn Key car that is ready for shows or a cross country trip. Clean
