A ONE OF A KIND SHOWPIECE
This is no ordinary C3 Corvette—it is a true one-of-a-kind. In 1999, the car received a custom DuPont Sunset Fire Prizm color-shifting paint finish, giving its body a dazzling glow of ever-changing hues: orange, purple, and deep reds that transform with the light. The investment in paint materials alone exceeded $10,000 at the time, not including labor or clear coat. Pictures and videos cannot capture its brilliance—this Corvette demands to be seen in person, where it steals the spotlight at every show.
PERFORMANCE THAT DELIVERS
Beneath the sculpted hood rests a healthy rebuilt 350ci Small Block V8, perfectly paired with a smooth Turbo 400 automatic transmission. Recently refreshed with a new Edelbrock carburetor, plugs, wires, brakes, and tires, this Corvette fires right up every time. The addition of electric fans ensures reliable cooling, while the side-exit exhaust unleashes a visceral soundtrack that matches its striking appearance.
READY FOR THE ROAD-OR THE SHOW FIELD
Inside, the Saddle Brown interior remains completely intact, with all gauges fully operational. The warm tones of the cabin pair beautifully with the dramatic exterior Sunset Prizm finish, creating a combination that is both striking and inviting. The car retains its T-Tops, now fitted with new panels for easy removal, while fresh weatherstripping keeps everything tight. Originally optioned with A/C, the system’s compressor is not currently installed, offering flexibility for the next owner. From its clean underside to its raw exhaust note, this is a Corvette equally suited for cruising in style or collecting trophies.
A rare opportunity to own a 1973 chrome bumper Corvette that truly stands apart from the crowd. With its show-quality finish, low ownership history, and meticulous attention to detail, this Vette is ready to thrill its next caretaker.
