Vehicle Description
This 1973 Chevrolet Corvette is from the last few years for awesome
big block power. So it's not only great that this has the
numbers-matching 454 V8, but also it's showcased in a car that so
sharp-looking. And this even has all the features you really want -
from an A/C interior to four-on-the-floor.
This Stingray's bright red has a nice gloss that really brings out
the curves when the sunshine finds this coupe. That's a good thing,
because '73 was a distinctive year. The chrome bumper was replaced
by form-fitting color-matched unit that integrated into the rest of
the body almost seamlessly. This gave a whole new dimension to the
car as the front end seemed to be the right fit with C3's
well-creased silhouette. What also makes the '73 unique is that
it's the only year with the new front, but retains the chrome in
the rear. After all, an American classic like this deserves proper
shine. It seems to make these extra desirable as the brightwork
here coordinates nicely with the rockers, trim, and Rally wheels.
And so when you see a crisp red coupe with plenty of shine, you
know you're looking at timeless style.
The T-tops let you open this up to the world, and the
factory-correct saddle tan interior makes for a timelessly
attractive look against the red. It has a very clean and correct
look that comes from proper care and making the right investments
in in quality items when anything needed replacing. Plus, this
coupe come with some nice features like power windows, power
steering, an upgraded AM/FM digital tuner, and cold-blowing factory
air conditioning. This is built to be a true driver's machine, and
that's why you get bucket seats, a three-spoke sports steering
wheel with tilt/telescopic, full auxiliary gauge panel at
eye-level, and a large speedo and tach. And you just know that
stick shift is perfect for resting your right hand.
Under the hood is what we all love to see - an engine bay filled
with big block power. This is the numbers-matching 454 cubic-inch
V8, and just like the rest of the car, you can tell they've made a
solid investment here. Bright polished components, updated valve
covers, and a bold orange make a tidy but strong statement about
this powerhouse. We can understand exactly why there would be this
much care in this coupe. With only 4,412 big blocks made, it was
one of the rarest significant options taken in 1973, and the low
odometer is even believed to reflect total actual mileage. More
than just history, you're going to love driving this classic. The
big block fires up nicely as it inhales deeply from the four-barrel
carburetor, and it exhales with plenty of rumble out of the dual
exhaust. You get complete control over this V8 with the
numbers-matching Muncie M21 close-ratio four-speed manual
transmission. And like any good Corvette, this is also ready for
the backroads. After all, how many other 1970s machines offered big
block power with the control of a fully independent suspension and
four-wheel disc brakes?
This is the rare classic big block machine that you can enjoy
driving and showing. And at a price like this, you know you're not
the only one interested. Call now!
