For Sale: 1973 Chevrolet Corvette in Ft Worth, Texas

This 1973 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible has its numbers-matching V8 and a great driver-ready attitude. It makes for a well-priced drop-top icon that's ready for your personal touch.


This has the right look for a grand touring Corvette. The clean white top, rear luggage rack, and distinctive style with the debut of the color-matched front end. It's a car you'll want to drive, and so the paint currently reflects that. So you have a Corvette in an iconic and factory-correct Mille Miglia Red that has a nice gloss in the sunshine. But it also has the overall kind of appearance that won't make you worry about pebbles in the road or rain on your way home. That's a good driver's classic, and the value price should leave room in your budget if you're looking to get closer to perfection. But the full appeal here is the look of a classic Stingray in an exclusive year where it was the only time to get the color-matched front bumper and the chrome rear - often considered the purest of the C3 design.


We also like this car because it has a dual personality. The white roof has a pleasant and premium feeling, but the black interior sets a more aggressive tone. The interior has been changed over from the factory red, and so that means newer fundamentals, including the very well-done bucket seat covers. It reminds you this is a driver's convertible. So do features like the three-spoke sports steering wheel, tilt column, and auxiliary readouts at eye level. There's potential for added desirable details, like restoring the factory air conditioning. And this is just waiting for you to install the modern radio of your choice. But from day one, you'll love the tune of the V8 and the feeling of wind in your hair.


Under the hood is the numbers-matching 350 cubic inch V8 with a four-barrel carb on top. It's a strong runner and even has an HEI distributor, so that's part of the core feeling of a driver's Corvette. The TH400 three-speed automatic shifts smoothly and confidently. Plus, power steering, four-wheel power disc brakes, and fully independent sports suspension make it easy to enjoy this Corvette to the fullest.


This is a driver-ready Stingray that's fun today and lets you personalize it to your tastes down the road. That makes for an interesting and affordable icon. Call today!!!
