Details

350 engine, 4 speed manual transmission, 25,493 miles on the dash (title is exempt for mileage), power steering, power brakes, black convertible top, black leather interior, tilt and telescopic steering column, original shifter, rally wheels, dual exhaust, original air cleaner assembly, and much more.

This corvette spent its life in southern VA, NC, and CA. The previous owners did all kinds of upgrades to this corvette over the years. The current engine was installed in 2009 and has about 26k miles on it. They also redid the suspension, replaced the dual exhaust, power steering pump, power steering control valve, power steering hoses, brake hoses, brake pads, brake calipers, front bumper cover, front springs, shocks, rear spring, rear shocks, strut rods, coil springs, seat covers, steering box, convertible top, rear bumpers, tongue bushing, and much more. They also had the corvette repainted in base coat clear coat paint in 2009.

We changed the oil and filter and checked and lubed the chassis. We replaced the left motor mount, harmonic balancer, flywheel, clutch kit, and alternator.

This corvette runs and drives really nice. 

1973 marked the end of the chrome bumper corvette era with rear chrome bumpers replaced by a rubber bumper in 1974. The 1973 was a one-year-only body design. GM also did away with the vacuum operated wiper door this year in favor of a longer hood to hide the wipers, and dropped the removable back window in favor of a glue-in window.
