@Marco311- door panels show as new- no cracking as well as the dash. Less than 500 miles ago, the clutch was redone, a new Holly Carb, front brakes, and Ac service. I don’t have paperwork on the transmission, but it shifts perfectly. The rear end doesn’t leak or whine- so not an issue. My mechanic and I have gone through the entire car. It’s ready to enjoy.
I know that the door panels were subject to cracking along the armrest. (I had a '974) What is the condition of the door panel(s)? Are they free from cracks etc. Other than the engine rebuild, has there been any other major work done, and if so approx. when? ie: front end, transmission, rear end? Thanks a bunch.

Good morning. Thanks again for the continued bids. @Dreamintoo@198, with the rebuild compression ratio is 10.5:1 and differential gear ratio is stock at 3.55:1. I’ll be checking in all week to answer all questions. For those who own a big block Stingray with side pipes, it’s the epitome of a classic muscle car. Hopefully this one finds a new owner.
Since the engine was rebuilt is the compression ratio higher than the original 8.25:1 ?? Differential gear ratio ? Thank you
BID: $12,500
Thank you for the initial bids. For those in warmer climates- AC has been converted to 134a and blows cold.

Good morning. If you’re in the market for an extremely well sorted 1973 Corvette- this is a stunning example. With its recent engine rebuild, horsepower is well over 400. Bored 0.60 over, Comp cam,Competition camshaft, Competition Cams timing chain and gear set ,Competition Cams lifters and Magnesium rocker arms. Shifts smoothly and brakes as it should. Power windows, side pipes, power steering, disc brakes, and factory AC. This is a matching numbers car. I was able to get a decent shot of the engine number posted below. Best of luck to those interested in this fine example.
