Although the Chassis and many parts were carried over from the previous C3 Corvette, 1973 offered some significant firsts and lasts as the Corvette began a transition from a pure sports car to the Grand Touring genre. 1973 marked the last year for the chrome rear bumper, but the first year for the integrated endura style front bumper that also held a much higher safety rating. 1973 was also the first year for several improvements to ride quality and comfort that included interior noise levels being cut by 40%. GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this stunning and highly original 1973 Corvette. This car appears to be numbers matching. It sports its 350 v8 paired with a 4 speed manual transmission. The car has several new parts on it including new gas tank, new SS lined calipers, new brake master cylinder, new carburetor, new coil, new ignition, new fuel pump, newer tires, new fuel sending unit and new water water pump. This very original example rides on factory wheels with factory hubcaps and beauty rings. This car is very clean both inside and out and is sure to please.
