Drop the top and sail away into summer with this beautiful Corvette convertible. Introduced in 1968, the third generation Corvette was a major styling upgrade. Regarded as one of the best-looking American cars to come out of the muscle car era, the Corvette was more than the sum of its parts. Based on the sensational Mako 2 concept car penned by Larry Shinoda the C3 would go on to feature some of the biggest, meanest engines GM ever built, cumulating with the all-aluminum 427 cubic inch, 430' horsepower ZL-1. As the C3 matured it would see the addition of several safety features and changes made in the name of efficiency, making this 1973 model one of the last models where performance was the primary focus. (To best assess the quality of the paint and trim finishes, please be sure to view the close-up photographs of the car in the accompanying gallery.) Exterior: Inside and out, this Corvette is incredibly well preserved. Finished in stunning Metallic Orange paint with an impressive amount of flake, it is truly stunning. Chrome side skirts and split rear bumper shine beautifully. Original L-82 badging is present, as is the Stingray badging on the fenders. Classic Corvette pop-up headlights function as they should, and the convertible top shows no tears or excessive wear. All glass is clear and free of cracks, and all lights are bright and free of blemishes. Interior: Largely stock, the interior on this Corvette is black with wood grain accents. Seats and carpet are in excellent shape with no rips or stains present. Black leather trimmed steering wheel sits in front of beautiful speedometer and tachometer gauges. Auxiliary gauges are set in the center, above the radio, which powers Panasonic speakers. Nestled in front of the 4-speed shifter rests the controls for the factory air conditioning.

Mechanical: Under the hood is where the fun really begins. In place of the factory L-82 V-8 there is a much spicier alternative. A 370 horsepower Turbo-Fire 350 cubic-inch V-8 makes this Metallic Orange missile a genuine sports car. Also under the hood you will find that the original Frigidaire air conditioning has been retained. This awesome engine feeds into a true dual exhaust and is backed by the factory four-speed transmission.
