Description

This 1973 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible 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 were the front bumpers. 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 Dark Blue Metallic, this Stingray convertible features a factory luggage rack, a white folding convertible top, and an optional factory removable hardtop painted the same as the body. The classic Corvette look is completed with a set of factory 15x8 rally wheels wrapped with BF Goodrich Radial T/A raised white-lettered tires.
The black 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 in appearance except for an upgraded Kenwood Excelon stereo AM/FM/CD player with Bluetooth to play your preferred top-down cruising music.

Power comes from a healthy 350 cubic inch small block engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. Under the hood, the appearance is factory stock, with the correct air cleaner, ignition shielding, valve covers, and even proper decals in place.
