For Sale: 1973 Chevrolet Corvette in Lenoir City, Tennessee

The 1973 Chevrolet Corvette C3 is a classic picture of American muscle positioned between the raw'60's cars and the more refined mid-'70's era. This convertible, Medium Green Poly Metallic Corvette C3, features the unmistakable C3 "Stingray" body lines with long, sculped fenders, a low-slung stance, and dramatic curves. Collectors love the '73 model because Chevrolet introduced a urethane front bumper matching the body while the rear remained chrome; making this the only Corvette with different style bumpers. This iconic muscle car is powered by a 350 cubic-inch V8 engine combined with a manual four-speed transmission. It was the first model year that marked a shift toward safety and comfort over raw power.
Exterior: A show-stopping appearance is presented on this gorgeous car by the Medium Green Poly Metallic paint that has been buffed and polished to a gleaming mirror finish. The shade blends earthy sophistication with metallic shimmer, offering a refined yet unmistakably sporty presence. The exterior showcases the distinctive one-year-only bumper design, with a body-colored urethane front bumper that flows smoothly into the sculpted Stingray nose, creating a cleaner, more modern look in the front. In contrast, the bright chrome rear bumper adds a bold, classic touch, anchoring the design with traditional muscle-car persona. Equipped with 8-inch Rally wheels, the car has a tough, muscular stance that reinforces its classic Corvette character while staying true to the era.
Interior: The saddle brown interior of this Corvette, which is believed to be original, wraps the cockpit in a warm, vintage glow-deep caramel and tobacco tones that feel straight out of the early '70's and is in good condition. It gives the car a refined, almost European grand-touring vibe, especially with the low bucket seats and driver-focused dash. Drop the top and the saddle interior glows in the sunlight, giving the cockpit a sun-warmed, leather inspired look that feels equal parts muscle car and grand tourer. It's the kind of interior that smells like freshair and summer.
Drivetrain & Performance: Under the hood is an original V8 350 engine combined with the 4-speed manual transmission that provides reliable performance and unmistakable sound of a classic American small-block. This car features matching VIN and block numbers which speaks to the kid-glove treatment the car has experienced over the decades. Power is sent to the rear wheels, giving the car confident acceleration, combined with power steering in this model, provides smooth cruising and the balanced driving experience Corvette is known for. The 350 V8 doesn't rush- it rolls on with steady torque, a deep exhaust note, and effortless highway pace. It's a Corvette meant to be driven, not just launched.
Top Configuration: A new tan convertible top has been installed, offering a crisp updated look while maintaining the car's period-correct style. The neutral tone pairs beautifully with the body color and saddle interior. The newly installed soft top fits tight and smooth, with clean seams and clear rear window, enhancing both appearance and weather protection while preserving the Corvette's original character.
Summary: This 1973 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is a desirable, well-preserved example finished in Medium Green Poly Metallic over a saddle brown interior. It retains its original 350 small-block V8, maintaining the car's authenticity and period-correct character. The recent addition of a new tan soft top complements the factory interior color combination and enhances overall presentation. A classic early-'70's Corvette that appeals to collectors who value originality, meticulous upkeep, and timeless styling.
