This 1973 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray marked "America's Sports Car" transformation from a muscle to a touring sports car. Chevrolet even advertised that "We gave it radials, a quieter ride, guard beams, and a nose job."
A number of detail changes made the 1973 a better, quieter, and more comfortable Corvette than its predecessors. The most noticeable was the front bumper. Gone was the traditional chrome bumper, now replaced with plastic energy-absorbing structures with body color flexible urethane coverings to meet federal 5-mph accident standards. It was the only year that a "rubber" bumper and chrome rear bumper were used at the same time. The hood was redesigned to eliminate the windshield wiper covers and provide carburetor air from the high-pressure area at the base of the windshield. More important changes were invisible, including improved sound deadening treatment, new body mounts and side impact door beams.
Finished handsomely in custom Brown Metallic paint, this exceptionally clean Stingray turns heads wherever it roams. The classic custom Corvette look is completed with thundering chrome side pipes and a set of chrome 15x8 rally wheels wrapped with Cooper Cobra Radial T/A tires.
The Saddle interior features leather seats, factory air conditioning, tilt and telescopic steering column and original tachometer and gauges. The cockpit of this Corvette is factory stock with the exception of an upgraded modern retro AM/FM/AUX/Bluetooth radio to play your preferred cruising music.
Power comes from a healthy 350 cubic inch small block engine paired with a TH400 3-speed automatic transmission. Under hood features include an Edelbrock intake manifold, Edelbrock carburetor, aluminum radiator with dual electric fans and HEI ignition, as well as chrome valve covers, alternator, and brake reservoir cap.
