1973 Chevrolet Corvette Description
Same owner the last 22 years, he is an NCRS member and has done 2 previous frame off restorations on Corvettes. He promised his wife he would not do that to this car because they wanted a car to enjoy driving. He kept his word but that didn't stop him from being extremely fussy and continuously making this car function like new. A folder of itemized receipts are included.
EXTERIOR: The body and paint were professionally restored by Harmony Corvette. They are an award winning Corvette restoration facility. The body is in excellent condition, I don't see any signs of damage, no cracking. Everything fits nicely. The front rubber bumper was upgraded with a True Flex rubber bumper. The metal flake is laid out evenly and the clear coat is polished like glass. The jambs were completely repainted too. Has new weatherstrips, window seals and sill plates. This is a one year only design, like the 63 split window. The bumper is rubber in front and chrome in back. The back bumpers, tail light lenses and license plate frame are all in very good condition. Has a new correct antenna assembly. The white convertible top was replaced and the frame was adjusted properly. It also has a removable hardtop in excellent shape. The Corvette aluminum wheels were featured in the 1973 brochures but technically didn't come out until later. They are a nice addition to the car. Tires look new. We have receipts for $1,350 in new wiring harnesses and 24 hours labor to install!
INTERIOR: Restored mirror with map light and wire harness, key buzzer,cushions in the seats, seatbeltsrear glovebox lamp switch console bezel, shift cable lock out Inside it has new cushions in the seats and glove soft leather upholstery. Has leather armrest. Door panels are good original. Carpets were replaced. The console and instrument bezels were replaced. It is loaded up with features including tilt-telescopic wheel, power windows, a rare rear window defogger and Am-Fm radio that works. It is very functional, he went as far as to replace the headlight switch, key buzzer and even a new mirror with lamplight with a new wire harness.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It has it's VIN number matched 350 motor that runs smooth. Up on top it has it's complete and functional cowl induction system. Has original ignition shielding, finned aluminum valve covers and original manifolds. It features power steering, power brakes and factory air conditioning system. The power steering pump and valve unit were rebuilt. Everything looks proper.
UNDERSIDE: Very respectable. This car was meticulously maintained. It would be a safe assumption that everything is in good order under the car. I see miscellaneous replaced parts in the front end. I know all 4 shocks were replaced. A complete new brake kit was bought and installed, has disc at all 4 wheels. There was a seperate receipt for new e-brake kit. New fuel tank, straps, insulators and sending unit. He ordered the correct lock with rubber boot for the spare tire carrier. Looking up at the motor it is spotless. Starter, oil filter and flywheel cover look new. The Turbo 400 automatic looks clean. Has original 3.08 rear end gears. The mufflers and tailpipes look new, has correct tips. The frame and fiberglass floors are clean as well.
This is a great looking Vette roadster you can drive with confidence! Has a desirable list of features too.
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video that explains the car's condition in detail.
