1973 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe

Description

The 1973 Corvette marked the beginning of a new era for the C3 Stingray as it shifted to a body-colored urethane front bumper in place of the traditional chrome — a change mandated by federal 5-mph impact standards — while retaining the chrome rear bumper for one final year.

Reportedly finished in War Bonnet Yellow from the factory, this ‘73 was acquired by the seller in 2020 and is presented as a largely unmodified example featuring a repaint under previous ownership.

This C3 Corvette is fitted with 15” Rally wheels, vacuum-operated pop-up headlights, vinyl upholstery, removable T-top roof panels, and chrome rear bumper. This example is equipped with a carbureted 350ci V8 engine, a three-speed automatic transmission, and power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes.

This 1973 Chevrolet Corvette is now offered in Colorado with a clean Tennessee title in the seller’s name.
