Description

There is something about a C3 Corvette that is just special. Its long, undulating hood, unmistakable Coke bottle shape, and short, windswept rear set it apart from not only every other Corvette generation, but every other car ever made. This particular 1973 Chevrolet Corvette comes to us with a mere 6,133 (believed) actual miles on its odometer. Fully repainted once in its original Elkhart Green color, this C3 is a numbers-matching car, and is a prestigious Bloomington Gold Winner, making it a very special car indeed.

Pop off those nifty T-tops, and inside we find a correct stock original black vinyl interior. Two big gauges sit front and center of the driver, just beyond a power-assisted three-spoke (or six-spoke, depending on how you're counting) steering wheel with a 7,000 rpm tach on the right and a 160 mph speedometer on the left. A five-pod gauge cluster sits atop the center stack, while the AC Delco AM/FM stereo handles the soundtrack. Though its compressor will need servicing, this Corvette comes from the factory with air conditioning as an option on its dial-based HVAC setup.

Underneath its signature front-hinged hood, we find a numbers-matching 350 cubic-inch L48 V-8 engine. Topped with a single four-barrel carburetor, this post-emissions small block made an advertised 190 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque when it rolled off the assembly line. Power is routed through a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission before heading out to fifteen-inch Rallye wheels shod in 225/70R-15 Cooper Cobra tires.
