Chevrolet Corvette 1973 Description

It's easy to love this 1973 Chevrolet Corvette. After all, it has its original V8 engine, luxury leather interior, both tops, and that great wind-in-your-hair convertible experience. But the fact that it's a bold red car that's affordably priced is probably why you just can't get this one out of your mind.1973 was the only time Chevrolet offered the body-colored nose with the rear chrome bumper, and this distinction is exactly why those rear chrome kings shine like mirrors. But more importantly, it's this cleaner design that legendary designer Larry Shinoda had said was his intentions for the C3 from the beginning. The chrome rear world be gone by '74, which makes this the only year that we actually got what the designers wanted us to have. But more than just history, this droptop has the appeal of a Stingray in all-American red. In fact, it also has the bonus of a matching hard top. So, on those days when you feel like cruising in a coupe, you get even more of the cherry hue. There's also a black folding soft top to keep you weather-tight in a pinch, and the dark vinyl does add some aggression to the C3's legendary shark-like profile. Oh, speaking of icons, the Rally wheel package is something we always love to see, and it shines as bright as the special rear bumpers.Just like the folding roof, the black interior helps make for an aggressive looking package, and let's face it, you want a great interior like this to show off on you droprop. It's also one of the best hues for the inside because it allows the silver accents to pop on everything from the door panels, to the three-spoke steering wheel. It also looks especially nice since the pristine bucket seats are a comfortable leather. This one also has some nice features such as an upgraded AM/FM/cassette stereo, and provisions for air conditioning. But like any true Corvette, it's a driver's car. So you get all the right features like the tilt/telescoping steering column for that perfect driving position, and a full auxiliary gauge panel prominently in the center to keep you in constant contact with what's going on under the hood.The engine bay has the kind of honest and cared for presentation that you love to see in a numbers-matching motor like this. The 350 cubic-inch V8 is a great runner with extra power thanks to all the right attention in the last decade. This includes the four-barrel carburetor professionally re-tuned, new distributor, and the addition of Hooker long tube headers that add power as they enhance the rumble of the newer stainless exhaust (and purists will be happy the original manifolds are available, too.) A car like this was meant to be driven on your favorite roads, so the front suspension was given a rebuild, and we all love the Corvette's independent rear. Add to that great features like a stout TH400 three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and four-wheel disc brakes, and you have an anytime classic cruiser.An iconic convertible that was built for driving. It's a great all-around, all-American classic for an unbeatable price. That's why you know you need to hurry to grab this deal. Call now!!
