1973 Corvette Convertible
I have been a member of this forum for 20 years, one of the first 8,000 to join back in 1999. It has been a privilege to be a member of this great group and to own such a wonderful American Icon of a car.
Available is a 1973 Corvette convertible. I have restored much of the car during my ownership although there are too many repairs/upgrades to list. I’ve only driven the car about 5,000 miles so anything that has been serviced has very little drive time on the parts.
The previous owner added 1980 exterior panels and interior creating a unique appearance and that of a 1980-1982 convertible.
I have receipts for most if not all of the parts. I’ve made to many repairs/upgrades to list. I am including the more significant areas that have been serviced/restored.
Engine:
· 350 Chevy engine with rebuilt Vortec heads
· Carter 625 carburetor
· Edelbrock Performer aluminum intake
· Electric fan with Painless Wiring harness
· Replaced radiator
Transmission:
· Mustang Cobra aftermarket Tremec Z-spec 5 speed transmission with overdrive
· New Clutch
· New Slip Yoke
· New u-joints
Steering:
· Borgeson upgrade power steering system
· New flex joint (rag joint)
· Replaced turn signal switch
Front Suspension:
· New upper and lower a-arms with poly bushings
· New upper and lower ball joints
· Strut reinforcement bar
· Billstein Shocks
· New Big Block coil spring
· New Sway Bar with poly bushings
Rear Suspension:
· Restored differential (has 3.55 ration gears)
· Restored half shafts
· Replaced 7 leaf spring
· Replaced trailing arms (from VanSteel)
· New rear sway bar with poly bushings
Other Modifications:
· C5 seats
· C5 wheels
· Added 3 point seat belts
· New top
· New header bar with power coat (these are often rusted out)
· 165 mph speedometer
· Replaced all brake calipers with stainless sleeved units
· Upgraded stereo
Replaced steering wheel, sun visors and door panels
Sell Price $7,900 or best offer
Please IM me with any questions.

Do you have any pictures of the engine and interior. Whereabouts are you located. I like the look of your car.

I have sent emails to everyone that has sent me an IM. You should have received 3 emails. I can only attach so many pics to an email due to size limitation. Let me know if you did not receive all 3 emails.
