For sale in our Chicago showroom is a classic 1973 Chevrolet Corvette. By 1973 Chevrolet was in it's fourth year of producing the C3 Corvette design and still featured the iconic chrome rear bumper and those super cool flip up headlights. The removable T-tops allowed for some fun in the sun and was the perfect way to usher in the excitement and bold new style of the 1970's. This car has been meticulously maintained and is in remarkable condition for being 44 years old.
This particular 'Vette has a very nice history. In 1990 this was purchased by the current owner's wife for him as a Father's Day present and has been lovingly cared for ever since. After purchase the paint was refreshed and throughout the past 26 years every measure was taken to ensure that this vehicle stayed in a fine roadworthy state. After many car shows and even a few Route 66 tours it's time for this blue beauty to find a new home that will treasure her like the current owners have.
Under that long iconic hood you will find the original 350 Cubic Inch V8 that's starts up very easily, idles quiet and smooth and provides plenty of power to get this Corvette up to speed. The Turbo 400 automatic transmission shifts very nicely and the air conditioning is nice and cold to provide driver and passenger comfort on those hot days. The t-tops can be easily removed and stored for some fun in the sun. This car has all of the creature-comforts you could hope for including power steering, power brakes, am/fm radio with CD player, power windows and functioning factory alarm system.
