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.

Chevy monitors drivers' biometrics while experiencing new Corvette Stingray

Fri, 25 Oct 2013

We tell you about what a car is like to drive every day, remarking on throttle response, steering weight and feedback, squat, dive, brake fade and a dozen or more other factors of performance. What we can't tell you, though, is what the car does to us - how its performance impacts us, physically. That's what makes this video series from Chevrolet so darn cool.
The Bow-Tie brand rented out Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, got several (very) different individuals together, strapped a bunch of sensors to their bodies to record biometric data ranging from heart rate to respiration to brain activity, and then handed them keys to the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The results are explained in a series of videos, devoted to each driver, showing how different people react to the Corvette's performance.
If, like your author, you're a nerd for medical science, this is going to be a fascinating set of videos. If not, it's still pretty cool to see how the body of someone with racing experience, like Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, reacts to tracking a car like the Corvette Stingray compared to the owner of legendary Detroit barbecue joint, Slows BBQ. Take a look below for all six videos from the series, or hop over to the Corvette Vimeo channel for the interactive experience, where you can see all the different metrics.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible gives us a couple of looks

Sat, 02 Mar 2013

Put away your pixel paintbrushes, kids. Pack up your Photoshop. This is the real-deal 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible in its first official images. The droptop Chevrolet will roll into the bright lights of the Palexpo exhibition at next week's Geneva Motor Show, a four-wheeled statement of intent that General Motors is serious about taking its Corvette franchise global.
Chevy isn't providing anything in the way of further details with these two shots, but we've learned at least a couple of things about the car shown here. First off, the example seen in these images is fitted with the optional Z51 Performance Package - something that isn't immediately evident because there's no sign of the coupe model's prominent ductwork on its rear haunches. In order to accommodate the power folding hard tonneau cover, the vents that feed the transmission and differential coolers have been relocated to the underside of the car. The dark paint color on this example also does a good job of muting the contrasting black front fender vents and hood opening - Z51-spec design details that have proven to be somewhat controversial.
One other thing to note: These two shots also display the Stingray wearing different alloy wheels than the split five-spoke design shown at the hardtop's Detroit Auto Show unveiling in January. The simpler, thin five-spoke wheels should do a good job of showing off the Z51's upgraded brakes, and they'll be optional on the coupe as well.

Pics Aplenty: Meet the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra [w/poll]

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

Today was a pretty big day for General Motors, debuting the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickup trucks ahead of their official showcase at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. And now that the dust has settled at GM's big reveal event, we've had a chance to snap dozens of photos of the new pickup pair from every angle.
We already told you the important bits earlier today (click here in case you missed it), but let's recap. Under the hood are three new engines - a 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 (you know, a version of the small-block that'll also be found under the hood of the C7 Corvette), all mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. The 2014 model year marks the return of the Z71 off-road package with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and beefier underbody protection. Inside, there's a host of new technology and a greater focus on better quality and refinement.
Some of the nitty-gritty specifics (like engine output numbers and fuel economy) have yet to be revealed, and since we haven't driven the finished products yet, it's hard to say how these trucks will fare against rivals like the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150. For now, we can only judge these two books by their covers, and while we do like the designs of the new trucks, we Autoblog staffers are torn on exactly which one looks best.
