Baldwincoupe

Hello all. i know i am a new member. i was told about this forum by another corvette owner that is on the forum. i read through the rules and it did not appear that i am in violation of any rule. I do have the title with me it is clean

1973 Chevy Corvette
VIN- 1Z37J3S414975
Odometer- 87206 (3612 miles since restoration)
Horsepower- 400-425
Numbers matching- Yes
Price - $39,000
Title in hand with no lien
Location- Edwardsburg, Michigan.


Complete frame off, nut and bolt restoration completed in 2010 . I have $75,000 into the car and restoration(i have all the reciepts as well if proof is needed).This car is absolutely gorgeous. It is a numbers matching car. i have only put 3612 miles on the car since the restoration was completed. car is stored in a climate controlled garage year round. I am planning on another restoration project so i need to make room. this car has to go.

I chose to paint the car with the Baldwin Motion Stripe. I have always loved the look of that stripe. The car was appraised at $60,000+ a few years ago. i know the c3 market has gotten soft so my price i feel is spot on.

The Restoration took place at Mann's Corvette in Mishawaka Indiana.

Someday I hope mine looks as sweet as yours! NICE ride bro!

Konkol1

Nice looking '73!.
Not to be nit picky, but I was wondering why you have a newer vintage speedometer in the car. That is not a 1973 speedometer.
Just curious.

Yes. The kilometer markings were not used on the speedo in 1973. Not until maybe '75 or '76.

That is one beautiful 73! Good luck with the sale
