Vehicle Description
This 1973 Chevrolet Corvette offers both fun and history. For
example, you have the numbers matching motor and trans, but since
this is a four-speed car, they also upgraded the power of the V8 to
maximize enjoyment. So take a look at the full package that shows
off a loaded classic Corvette that has also been given the right
investments along the way.
We all like a Corvette done in red, and this one has a nice driver
quality that won't make you afraid to hit the road. Plus, the
fundamentals are nice with good body panels and gaps showing off
the long hood, tall fenders, and flying buttresses that make the
Stingray so sporty. If the time comes that you feel like doing a
respray, the trim tag tells us this was born an Elkhart Green car.
It's a special color only offered for a couple of years on the
Corvette, and it has a distinct appearance that gives a nod to the
speedy days at the now Road America racetrack. No matter how you
choose to drive this coupe, it will always be distinctive, because
1973 was the only year to combine the new color-matched front end
with the classic chrome bumper rear.
The T-tops let you open this up to the world, and the tan interior
makes for a timelessly attractive look against the red. And the
seats, door panels, and carpeting all present well so that it looks
good when anyone peeks inside. This came loaded with features, like
power windows and provisions for factory air conditioning (it will
need servicing to blow cold again.) The Delco AM/FM radio is even
still cranking out the tunes. It's also a proper driver's car with
a tilt/telescopic steering column, large speedo and tach, and a
full auxiliary gauge panel at eye level. Plus, you just know that
stick shift is perfect for resting your right hand.
Under the hood is the numbers-matching 350 cubic-inch motor. It's
pretty easy to tell this is far from stock, and now includes a
Holley four-barrel carburetor, aluminum intake, polished Chevrolet
valve covers, an MSD distributor, and a nice set of long tube
headers. So you get the right history while also getting added
power and flair. This goes great with the control you get from the
numbers-matching four-speed manual transmission. The
fully-independent sports suspension, power steering, and four-wheel
power disc brakes make this an easy choice when you're looking for
a great classic driver's car.
Complete with maintenance records, you're looking for a Corvette
with history, distinction, and the best features. You don't want to
let this deal slip away. Call now!
