Vehicle Description
Although the Chassis and many parts were carried over from the
previous C3 Corvette, 1973 offered some significant firsts and
lasts as the Corvette began a transition from a pure sports car to
the Grand Touring genre. 1973 marked the last year for the chrome
rear bumper, but the first year for the integrated endura style
front bumper that also held a much higher safety rating. 1973 was
also the first year for several improvements to ride quality and
comfort that included interior noise levels being cut by 40%. Most
notable however, is 1973 marked the last year of the Big Block 454,
Corvettes largest displacement that was introduced to the model in
1970 and gained it legendary status.
