Vehicle Description
This 1973 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible represents a rare
opportunity to own a meticulously preserved and award-winning
example of one of America's most iconic sports cars. Finished in
stunning Mille Miglia Red with a matching Dark Red vinyl interior,
this Corvette boasts an exceptional level of originality and
correctness, as evidenced by its prestigious 2-Time N.C.R.S. Top
Flight Awards, received in both 2006 and 2012. These honors are
reserved for vehicles that score above 94% in rigorous judging,
underscoring this Corvette's authenticity, condition, and
historical significance.
Under the hood sits its numbers-matching L-82 250 horsepower V8
engine, a high-performance option in 1973 that signaled serious
street prowess and elevated this convertible well above the base
model. Mated to a TH350 automatic transmission, the drivetrain
provides a smooth, yet commanding driving experience, making this
car equally at home on the highway or at a national show field.
Factory air conditioning is present and functioning, a highly
desirable feature for any classic Corvette, especially in
convertible form. Power windows, power steering, and power brakes
further enhance the comfort and ease of operation, while the tilt
and telescopic steering wheel allows for a personalized and
comfortable driving position.
The exterior presents beautifully with its vivid red finish and
excellent body lines. The paint remains vibrant and is complemented
by white stripe steel-belted radial tires that not only give the
car the correct period appearance but also ensure confident road
manners. The convertible top has been well maintained, offering the
driver the joy of open-air cruising with ease.
One of the rare factory options on this car includes the A86
shoulder belt package, of which only 788 units were built with this
configuration, adding another layer of uniqueness and desirability.
Inside, the cabin maintains its factory-correct look with AM/FM
radio, UF1 map light mounted on the rearview mirror, and a clean,
period-accurate dash and console. The Dark Red interior presents
exceptionally well and pairs perfectly with the exterior to create
a timeless and striking color combination.
Built on September 21st, 1972, this early production 1973 model
marks a significant transition year in Corvette history-the final
year of the chrome rear bumper and the debut of the body-colored
front urethane bumper, giving it a unique one-year-only design
appeal that collectors seek.
This car is not only a joy to look at but is also fully sorted and
ready to enjoy. It has lived a pampered life with careful attention
to preservation and presentation, proven by its twin N.C.R.S.
accolades. Whether you're looking to add a top-tier C3 to your
collection or seeking a turn-key show car that you can confidently
take on the road, this 1973 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible delivers
on every level-heritage, performance, style, and award-winning
pedigree.
