    Twenty years since it was first introduced at General Motors’ Motorama, the Chevrolet Corvette had firmly established itself as the company’s halo car and aspirational model.<\/p>\n

    Despite the energy shocks that raised prices at the gasoline pumps that year, Corvette sales jumped by more than 3,000 units over 1972 sales.<\/p>\n

    Dressed in Medium Bright Blue (code 922), the two-seater’s paint and trim are in overall very good order with minor blemishes. The car’s bodywork is straight and solid, the engine bay is tidy and the combination body-colored front and chrome rear blade bumpers fit tightly the body. There’s a luggage rack on the rear for additional storage.<\/p>\n

    The 1973 model year started Corvette’s transformation from muscle to touring sports car. A Chevrolet advertisement headlined: “We gave it radials, a quieter ride, guard beams and a nose job.” Indeed, redesigned body mounts and radial tires did improve Corvette’s ride and interior sound levels were reduced by 40%. The chrome rear bumper was essentially carried over from the previous year. However, the chrome blade front bumper was dropped for the federally required five mph standard for a light-weight front bumper system with an inner transverse tube attached to the frame with two Omark-bolts- (special steel fasteners which absorbed energy when a forming die, pushed back by the bumper, was forced down their length), and an injection-molded polyurethane bumper cover. The urethane nose was chosen over Chevy’s other alternative, a more protruding version of the previous metal bumper. The new urethane bumper assembly added 35 pounds to the front end.<\/p>\n

    This ‘Vette rolls on Cooper Cobra Radial G\/T tires, size 225\/60R15 in front and 255\/60R15 in back. Each radial is mounted to a turbine-style alloy, popular on several Chevrolet models. The tires are in very good order, as are the wheels. This Corvette rides a 98-inch wheelbase.<\/p>\n

    Under the forward-hinged hood is a 350 CID V-8 engine (code L48) and (VIN code J). Backing the motor is a Turbo Hydramatic 400 three-speed automatic transmission. Driver convenience features included air-conditioning, power steering and power disc brakes, tilt steering column and T-tops.<\/p>\n

    Inside, the blue vinyl upholstery (code 413) on the bucket seats looks great, as does the matching carpet. The headliner is in very good order, as is the three-spoke steering wheel. The dashboard and inner door panels are all in excellent order, as is the center console. Break warning light is “on”.\u00a0 A console-mounted shift lever and a factory Delco AM\/FM stereo complete the interior.<\/p>\n

    Competition to this Corvette in 1973 included the Avanti II, BMW’s 3.0 CS, DeTomaso’s Pantera, Mercedes-Benz’s 450 SLC and Porsche’s 911 S.<\/p>\n

    VIN: 1Z37J3S403123<\/p>\n

    This car is currently located at our facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on the odometer shows 72,683 miles. It is sold as is, where is, on a clean and clear, mileage exempt title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!!<\/p>\n
