1973 Corvette Stingray with T-Tops and 350 V8.

The color is Mille Miglia Red, Black interior. Miles are approximately 75,000. Condition overall is clean and very good. Super strong driver, reliable starter, good performer, great looker. This is the last of the chrome bumper Corvettes--classic, rare and harder and harder to find, especially in such good condition.

Rims and tires are brand new, and really fit the wheel wells just right. Engine is the 350V8, 3-spd automatic, power steering, power windows, power brakes, A/C (which is currently disconnected, but could probably be reattached pretty easily), AM/FM CD with JBL Corvette speaker system, sounds great and fits the car perfectly. New headlight motors and mechanism (that was about $1200), new fiberglass front end bumper (replaces cheap OEM plastic unit that shrinks and fades over time) new gas tank, recent stainless steel exhaust with beautifully tuned exhaust note, Edelbrock intake, Weber 4-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock chrome air cleaner. The engine is very strong and starts right away, even if it's been sitting a while.

I would not call this a numbers-matching car, because I don't think the engine is the original, but it is the correct type of 350 V8. The car has great T-tops (Usually on C3's they leak, but I siliconed the weatherstipping and made sure the connections are all tight, so they really don't leak anywhere that I can tell. I checked the other day with a hose, and no leaks) easy to take off and put on. There are a few nice chrome upgrades under the hood. Suspension is tight, no rattles, doors close without the typical C3 rattles, very solid and fast and fun to drive. If you're looking for a muscle car experience, a fast and fun C3 that gets a ton of heads turning, your search has paid off--you have found it.

Seats are in great shape, door panels great--check the pix. Overall the interior is very nice--just like you see. Not concourse perfect, but very nice and not disappointing in any way. Paint is gorgeous, perfect color. All the gauges work, even the clock. The beautiful chrome bumpers are in very nice condition overall. Steering is precise and feels wonderful. The visors are not present, but they would get in the way of the view anyway, so most folks remove them. Very fun to drive! It's tight and accurate and really makes other cars feel wallowy and disconnected. Carves those corners, and pounds those straightaways.

Many say this is the best year for the Corvette C3--this is the only year that they had the color matched front bumper, without the ugly black rubber blocks on it, and the cool abbreviated rear end with the split chrome bumper. The following year they went to a totally different back end that stuck out funny and in many ways ruined the lines of a true classic, and they got rid of all the chrome. Then they went on to ruin the front end with those distracting and ugly blocks I mentioned previously. Larry Shinoda, the designer for the Corvette during the 70s, says that the 1973 Stingray Coupe is the designers' favorite year, as it's the one that's the closest to their original vision and concept. I believe it, it's as good as anything Pininfarina ever put out of Italy, and it's Made in the USA.

This is the year they added the side-impact bar in the doors--previous versions did not have it and neither rider will take a side hit very well at all without it. This the year they made the hood have that very cool center rise (for the rear air induction), which gives it so much sex appeal and muscle. Plus, this is the first year they got rid of the troublesome wiper doors mechanism that plagued owners with problems for so long. 1973 is the first year they flared out the wheel wells--earlier models suffered terrible chipping from rocks thrown up by the tires. There is also a little more ''trunk'' space in the '73 than in 68-72 models. This is the first year without the ''egg crates'' they had on previous years in the side scoops--the smooth '73 scoops seem to fit the car much better and don't break up the flowing lines like the others did. The color is spectacular. The photos really do not do it justice. I hope you think like I do that it's the absolute perfect color for this car.

Zombie cars: A dozen discontinued vehicles people still buy new

Thu, Jan 6 2022

Car models come and go, but as revealed by monthly sales data, once a car is discontinued, it doesn't just disappear instantly. And in the case of some models, vanishing into obscurity can be a slow, tedious process. That's the case with the 12 cars we have here. All of them have been discontinued, but car companies keep racking up "new" sales with them. There are actually more discontinued cars that are still registering new sales than what we decided to include here. We kept this list to the oldest or otherwise most interesting vehicles still being sold as new, including a supercar. We'll run the list in alphabetical order, starting with *drumroll* ... BMW 6 Series: 55 total sales BMW quietly removed the 6 Series from the U.S. market during the 2019 model year. It had been available in three configurations, a hardtop coupe, a convertible and a sleek four-door coupe-like shape. Â BMW i8: 18 total sales We've always had a soft spot for the BMW i8, despite the fact that it never quite fit into a particular category. It was sporty, but nowhere near as fast as similarly-priced competitors. It looked very high-tech and boasted a unique carbon fiber chassis design and a plug-in hybrid powertrain, but wasn't really designed for maximum efficiency or maximum performance. Still, the in-betweener was very cool to look at and drive, and 18 buyers took one home over the course of 2021. Â Chevy Impala: 750 total sales The Impala represented classic American tastes at a time when American tastes were shifting away from soft-riding sedans with big interior room and trunk space and into higher-riding crossovers. A total of 750 sales were inked last year. Â Chrysler 200: 15 total sales The Chrysler 200 was actually a pretty nice sedan, with good looks and decent driving dynamics let down by a lack of roominess, particularly in the back seat. Of course, as we said regarding the Chevy Impala, the number of Americans in the market for sedans is rapidly winding down, and other automakers are following Chrysler's footsteps in canceling their slow-selling four-doors. Even if Chrysler never really found its footing in the ultra-competitive midsize sedan segment, apparently dealerships have a few leftover 2017 200s floating around. And for some reason, 15 buyers decided to sign the dotted line to take one of these aging sedans home last year.
