Dealer Comments
1973 Chevrolet Corvette T-Top
The Chevrolet Corvette is without a doubt, the most enduring American sports car -- and the third generation (C3) must be one of the most beloved. Built between 1968 and 1982, the C3 Corvette, ushered in lower, sleek styling, which was updated throughout the 14 year run to comply with new automotive regulations. But importantly, although the design changed, it never got any less stunning. The first major evolution came in 1973 with the removal of the chrome front bumper and integration of a plastic bumper that, if anything, worked better with the famous "Coke-Bottle" shape of the car.
This 1973 Corvette is finished in its original shade of Metallic Yellow and was subject to a restoration by Expert Autobody and Restorations in Adrian, MN, which was completed in 2020. The defining feature of the 1973 Corvette is the smooth nose cone that serves as a bumper, taking the place of the chrome units that were placed up front in previous models. But, unlike many later Corvettes with the smooth front bumper, the 1973 retains the chrome bumpers in the rear, along with a set of chrome side exit exhaust that look classic and sound outstanding. In its current form, this Corvette sits on a set of wheels from a 1979 Corvette, but the original Rallye wheels are included with the sale.
On the interior, trim code 419 Medium Saddle leather/luxury which included the custom door panel addition with wood accents and matching armrests, and color matched Cut-pile carpets and dash are also fitted. Slide in behind the large 3-spoke steering wheel and you are met with deeply hooded gauges, with a speedometer and tachometer just in front of you, and an array of auxiliary gauges in the center stack. The center console features controls for the HVAC system, and the Corvette's signature ball-topped shifter for the 4-speed manual gearbox, with a T-handle reverse lockout just below. The C3 Corvette started the trend that Corvettes have largely followed since, with a coupe or convertible option, but the coupe featuring removable T-Top roof panels which you can stow in the luggage area (in their original cases) for a real open air experience.
From a displacement standpoint, this car features the largest engine ever placed in a Corvette - a 454 c.i. V8. Fully rebuilt during the restoration, this numbers-matching engine runs fantastically and sounds incredible thanks to the chrome side exhaust. To improve reliability, the radiator was rebuilt and the entire car was re-wired during the restoration. The honking 454 sends power through its matching-numbers M20 4-speed to the rear wheels, making for a thrilling driving experience with lots of power and torque on hand. The suspension received all new bushings and the brakes were also entirely rebuilt.
The C3 Corvette is a certified classic and 1973 is a fascinating transition year for the era. If you have been looking for a Corvette from this era, this is a prime example that benefits from a sizable restoration and will prove to be a joy to have in your garage.
