FS-'73 L48 Coupe
1973 Classic White L-48 Coupe/Standard Dk. Saddle interior
NOM 350-4Bolt (+.040) w/ 64cc GM centerbolt (non-vortec) heads
TH400 rebuilt/shift kit w/3.70 rebuilt rear(new gears)
I bought this car last April for $7500 and have invested about another $5000 since then in improvements. Motor and trans are about 3yr. old w/approx 5Kmi. Heads were rebuilt 3mo. ago with .510 lift springs and installed with FelPro 1094 .015 gaskets. Compression is 9.4:1. Newer belts, PS/Rad./Vacuum hoses throughout. Trans. has small drip at front seal, but driveline is otherwise tight and dry. Driveshaft/Halfshafts balanced and straightened with new Spicer U-joints. Motor has Edelbrock 2101 Performer intake w/Holley 80457S-600cfm carb, Mallory Unilite Distributor w/Accell Supercoil, and Sanderson HP Exhaust Manifolds. 3yr. old 2 1/2" duals. Motor is approx. 275HP/375TQ with a 204/214 cam, and pulls 20" vacuum at idle with a nice flat torque curve. Starts and runs flawlessly every time.
Interior is about 75%new/25%original and looks great. New carpet, Door panels, Seat covers, Shift Console, etc. Original pieces have a few cracks here and there, but do not take away from anything. All trim has been refurbished. New Custom Autosound AM/FM/Cass w/ Sony 6 Disc changer mounted in rear (nice mounting-does not affect storage area).
Exterior has older repaint that is in good condition. Normal wear is present, but paint has great gloss and still gets lots of compliments. Wheels are new-reproduction 15X8 Rallye's with newer BFG 275/60/15rear-255/60/15front.
If anyone is looking for an earlier, turnkey C3, this is it. It has new GM shocks and runs and drives great. Drive it anywhere. Have original build sheet and a file FULL of receipts and new part info. Has original jack and spare. I am asking $10,250/offer. Have many more detailed pics and am glad to provide more info if you're interested. I have a chance to buy a '69 fixer, but don't have the funds or room for two. Thanks.
