1973 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible Elkhart Green 350ci V8 64683 Miles
1973 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible - 350ci V8 - 4 Speed Manual Transmission - 64k Miles - Elkhart Green Over Tan Interior
"Is the new (1973) 'Vette the best one ever?" – Car and Driver, December 1972 Hagerty Media gave a rundown on the '73 'Vettes: "As the door slammed on the muscle car era, new regulations for 5-mph front bumpers led to a color-keyed urethane front end treatment for the 1973 Chevrolet Corvette, replacing the chrome bumper. It added only 35 pounds, and the tail stayed the same as 1972 for another year. "Corvette production increased to 30,464, but only 4,943 were convertibles, and 1,328 buyers chose the auxiliary hardtop for $267. ... Chevrolet concentrated on sound deadening material to cut interior noise a claimed 40 percent. Rubber pads were fitted between the body and chassis. Steel beams were installed in the doors as crash protection. A cold-air induction hood was introduced and radial tires were now standard. "Not surprisingly perhaps, 17,927 buyers opted for the 3-speed HydraMatic transmission and only 3,704 chose the close-ratio 4-speed M21 manual gearbox.
