OVERVIEW
This 1973 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is a blue-plate California car powered by an L82 5.7-liter small-block V8 mated to a four-speed manual transmission equipped with a newer clutch. It has been owned by the seller for 35 years and features newer tinted T-top panels, brakes, dual exhaust hardware, air conditioning components, and Cooper tires. Finished in yellow over a black vinyl interior, this C3 Corvette is now offered with service records and a clear title in the seller's name.
EXTERIOR – FEATURES
The formerly Corvette Dark Blue Metallic (paint code 927) body received a repaint in yellow under prior ownership. Features include pop-up headlights, black pinstriping, newer removable tinted T-top panels, color-keyed mirror caps, rocker moldings, chrome rear bumpers, an antenna, and a newer dual exhaust system. The seller notes that there are some minor dings and scratches around the perimeter of the vehicle; the photo gallery to the right shows a dented area on the rear passenger-side bumper along with two scratches on the rear passenger-side panel. Additionally, the driver-side door is stiff to open and the outside handle does not return flush with the door.
EXTERIOR – WHEELS AND TIRES
Steel 15-inch Rally wheels with chrome center caps and trim rings are wrapped in newer 245/60 Cooper Cobra Radial G/T raised-white-letter tires.
INTERIOR – FEATURES
The cockpit is fitted with dual black vinyl high-back bucket seats, matched to the door panels, dash, center console, and carpeting. Amenities include factory air conditioning with newer components, an AM/FM radio, and a map pocket. The seller notes some age-related wear throughout the interior.
INTERIOR – GAUGES
Instrumentation includes a 160-mph speedometer, a 7K-rpm tachometer, a clock, and auxiliary gauges for the fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and voltage. The five-digit mechanical odometer reads 57,775 miles, which the seller believes to be a true reading.
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION
The L82 350ci small-block four-valve V8 was rated at 250 horsepower and features an Edelbrock intake manifold, a four-barrel Edelbrock carburetor, a forged steel crankshaft, a high-lift camshaft, a newer harmonic balancer, and finned Corvette-branded valve covers. Power is directed to the rear wheels via a console-shifted four-speed manual transmission and a newer 11-inch clutch.
UNDERCARRIAGE
The brake pads and calipers were replaced recently.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS
The trim tag denotes this car’s original color combination as Corvette Dark Blue Metallic (927) over Dark Blue vinyl (413). The seller has provided a series of videos that show the vehicle running. Service records come with the purchase of the car.
