Description of 1973 Chevrolet Corvette |
Cruise into spring in style in this 1973 Chevy Corvette. This car gets constant looks and comments everywhere I go! It is not a numbers matching car and has had some restoration work done on it. It has a 350 L82 engine with a 4 speed manual transmission with manual steering and manual brakes. I've had the car for almost 5 years now. she runs strong and has proven to be very reliable. I am currently relocating to Houston and with no A/C it will just be too hot in the summer so we're going to have to sacrifice her. I am asking $14. 00 and will entertain all reasonable offers the car is listed locally and on several other sites so if it sells I will be terminating this auction. I will try to describe it as best as I can.

Tons of receipts and manualsI have both the original steering wheel as well as a smaller aftermarket one that's currently installedStill to do:Although it doesn't affect the drivability. the driver's seat needs to be rebuilt. The passenger's seat is fine. It was going to be this winter's project but unfortunately work got in the way. :)The seat cover on the drivers side has a small tear (about 2") at the seam and the perimeter cord is worn but otherwise is in good condition for a 40 year old car. The passenger's side is fine. There is a chip on the top edge of the passenger door that is about 2 inches long. I've included a picture. There is also a minor scrape on the passenger's rear fender rim. it's not really noticeable unless you're looking for it and a small scratch on the passenger's fender. There is a pin hole where the neck of the radiator meets the radiator that needs to be soldered. You can still drive the car without any issues but it should be repaired. As with most 40+ year old cars she drips a little oil. I think this could be easily corrected with a new rear seal. It's a two part seal so I've been told that the engine doesn't need to be pulled to replace it. The center console needs to be replaced. it has a crack on the side. It functions fine and looks OK in the car. you can pick one up on eBay for under $40 or you can get them from Corvette Central or Eckler's. She could probably use a new battery as the turn signals flash slowly with the headlights on. There is a rattle in the driver's door. I took it apart last fall and found that one of the nylon rollers in the window regulator arm had fallen off. It doesn't affect the function and only rattles when you close the door. |
