For Sale: 1973 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray in Katwijk, Netherlands

Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, 1973. Three owners, 128,165 km.

1973 was the year America briefly lost track of what it wanted. The oil price rocketed, Washington started tinkering with bumper regulations, and the good honest citizen suddenly began asking awkward questions about his thirsty V8. And it was precisely in that year, right in the middle of the storm, that this Corvette Stingray rolled off the line. A car that stood squarely against the spirit of the age: eight cylinders, a block so big you could brew your coffee on it, and an attitude that treated the crisis as something for people with smaller engines.

And let's be honest: for the Corvette enthusiast, 1973 is no random year. It's the transitional year. Up front, the Stingray gained that plastic nose for the first time, the modern face that replaced the chrome trim. But round the back everything still gleamed the old-fashioned way, with chrome bumpers just as they ought to be. A single model year in which old and new shook hands. Whoever owns a 1973 owns a car that exists in no other build year. Just try mentioning that at a club meet, within two minutes you'll be the most popular chap at the coffee table.
