Default 1973 Stingray SCB 55 K Match No's CT

For sale or trade, I have a 1973 Stingray with > 55 k original miles, Numbers match, 350 Small Block, Th400 auto, 3.08 gears brand near BF Goodrich RTA's Lightly modified with MSD ignition, Atomic EFI and distributor. Ceramic coated OBX Headers and SS Side pipes. New dash-pad, carpet, and stereo. Recent work, includes Trailer arms, brakes pads, new calipers in the front. All of the work was professionally done by Corvette Center or Don's Speed shop here in CT. All original parts including full exhaust system, intake manifold, Carter carburetor, and distributor is on hand as well. This car runs very well, and I have receipts in excess of $20k. Paint is in very good shape but is an older paint job. Invested $3+k to have the A/C repaired and it is now fully operable. Frame is very clean with no rust at all. Replaced the rag joint 2 years ago, did upper and lower ball joints as well. Steering is as tight as it was when it came of the line. new high flow oil pump, new alternator, new water pump, and timing chain/gear. Should mention that it has power steering but no power brakes. Brakes are great though, just a little firmer than power brakes.







New Nose matching custom Paint (2/14)





Lowered the front end 1.5 Inches for a better stance.<br/>





Older photo, before the stereo went in, all gauges including the clock work.





Polished original rims look great!<br/>

I will consider any monetary offer over $17,500.00 or trade for similar car with a manual transmission. Don't bother with low ball offers I wont even respond. I'm not that eager to sell this car, I have a lot invested into it.

More photos to follow.

Interior showing new dash pad, carpet, console, MSD controller and steering wheel.<br/>

Thanks,.... what a huge performance difference the EFI made. Instant throttle response. It took me a little while to get it dialed in but turns out the O2 sensor was bad and was sending the wrong message to the computer. New O2 and the engine runs like a new one! I recommend it to anyone thinking of doing it.
