This 1973 Chevrolet Corvette coupe is powered by a 454ci LS4 V8 linked with a four-speed manual transmission and a Positraction differential and is finished in yellow over black leather upholstery. Equipment includes removable roof panels, a rear luggage rack, power steering, power-assisted disc brakes, and pop-up headlights, and the cabin is outfitted with a heater, power windows, and a Delco AM/FM stereo. The seller’s husband purchased the car in 2012 and subsequent work consisted of repainting the front fascia and replacing the front shock absorbers. This C3 Corvette is now offered with a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.
The fiberglass body is finished in Corvette Yellow (952) and was repainted under prior ownership. Equipment includes a rear luggage rack, a front-hinged domed hood, dual side mirrors, bright rocker moldings, pop-up headlights, and split rear bumperettes. The seller notes that the front valance was damaged and repainted under current ownership.
The 15″ Rally wheels wear chrome trim rings and center caps and are mounted with 245/60 BFGoodrich Radial T/A white-letter tires. The car features power steering and a four-wheel independent suspension. Braking is provided by power-assisted four-wheel ventilated discs. The front shock absorbers were replaced in 2017.
The twin bucket seats are trimmed in black leather upholstery and covered with yellow and black aftermarket covers. The seat covers are cracked and worn. Equipment includes a tilt and telescoping steering column, power windows, a heater, and an AM/FM stereo. Images with the aftermarket covers removed are displayed in the gallery.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 5,500-rpm redline. Gauges for fuel level, water temperature, oil pressure, and amperage are mounted in the center stack along with an analog clock. The five-digit odometer shows 73k miles, approximately 1,300 of which were added under current ownership. The speedometer needle is not attached.
Power is provided by a Turbo-Jet 454ci LS4 V8 with a four-barrel carburetor that was factory rated at 275 horsepower and 395 lb-ft of torque. Exhaust headers have been fitted, and power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a Positraction limited-slip differential.
