Vehicle Description
Unique, fast, and affordable - it's tough to beat this 1973
Chevrolet Corvette with its special dark red paint glistening in
the sunshine and a performance ZZ4 crate motor under the hood.
Corvette fans recognize the color of deep dark red on this
Stingray. It's Anniversary Red Metallic that was created specially
to commemorate 50 years of the Corvette. It's hard to argue with
the application that went on this classic coupe. The dark
appearance gives the shark-like nose a more sinister look, and the
shine does a great job of highlighting the C3's curves. Besides,
this 1973 car deserves the commemorative color because it's the
20th anniversary of the Corvette. Beyond the color, this '73 is
desirable for its design. It was the only time Chevrolet offered
the body-colored nose with the rear chrome bumperettes. This is
what legendary designer Larry Shinoda had said was his intentions
for the C3 from the beginning (it just took them five years to get
there.) And, this bold factory appearance is carried over the whole
car - from the large exhaust ports to the shiny Rally wheels.
The Ox-blood interior is a nice complementing color to the exterior
red, and thanks to the T-tops, you can you can open this one up to
let the world enjoy the full coordinating package. Everything feels
nicely preserved, so you'll love slipping into the bucket seat and
grabbing the three-spoke sports steering wheel. For the driver, the
dual pod readouts mean the all-important tachometer is large and
directly in front of you. Plus, the full gauge package is
prominently to the side. The AM/FM stereo has been upgraded without
losing the original knob-style appearance. So now you can plug in
you modern music players to get the most out of the enhanced
speaker system.
The big block era was winding down in '73, and so this 'Vette
utilizes a performance small block to really make a statement. It's
a ZZ4 crate 350 cubic-inch V8, and these were rated at 340+ hp
right out of the box from General Motors. This one inhales deeply
through a Holley four-barrel carburetor and exhales with authority
out of long tube headers that feed the rumbling dual exhaust. The
Corvette was the superior sports car for the '70s with features
like the fully independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes,
and so that makes it a great package on the road today.
Complete with owner's manual, it will be tough to find a classic
that combines a unique appearance and so much power in such an
affordable package. So you know you need to hurry to grab this
deal. Call today!!!
