Details

This 1973 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is powered by a matching-numbers 454/275hp LS4 V8 engine that was rebuilt in 2019 and is backed by an upgraded TREMEC 5-speed manual transmission. The comprehensive restoration included proper fitment and detailing of the underside. The exterior was restored to the original Medium Blue color using a water-based paint. The seating was reupholstered to the original color, Midnight Blue. Factory options include air conditioning, power steering, power brakes, tilt/telescoping steering wheel, AM/FM stereo radio and an analog clock that keeps time. The year 1973 was the first for Corvette's color-matching front urethane bumper and the last year for the rear chrome bumpers. It was also the first year Corvette shipped radial tires and aluminum wheels, and this Corvette includes radial T/As mounted on improved 1976-style Corvette alloy wheels. Attention to detail was paid, right down to the factory overspray on the gasket adhesive and correct seat padding and upholstery. Aside from the improved 5-speed transmission and alloy wheels, this Corvette is unmodified as it came from the dealership with factory ignition, carburation and exhaust systems.
