1973 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

Feast your eyes on a genuinely well-appointed slice of 1970s American muscle—a numbers-matching 1973 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray finished in gorgeous medium blue metallic over a handsome black vinyl interior. This C3 wears its factory-original color combination proudly, freshly enhanced by a first-class professional repaint and a comprehensive paint correction that brings the finish to an exceptional level. But this Stingray is more than a pretty face. Its matching-numbers L48 350 V8 provides the dependable, torque-rich small block power that makes this Corvette such a joy to drive, while a thoughtful list of comfort options—including cold air-conditioning and power windows—means you can point it down the road and simply enjoy the miles. Showing just 56,377 miles and refreshed inside and out, this is a particularly nice example ready to be enjoyed exactly as it sits. For the enthusiast who values authenticity, striking looks, and everyday drivability, this Stingray is a compelling opportunity.
