This particular example is excellent, preserved (note: not restored) condition. Though it has seen some paint work in the past, it is in mostly original condition. The exterior is clean and straight, with a few minor blemishes that validate the paint as older work. This is an attractive car that is an eye-catcher without being too flashy!
The interior is perhaps the most impressively preserved portion of the vehicle. The seats are original material, and show extremely minimal wear given the age of the car. Anyone who has spent time in both restored and survivor cars can certainly vouch that there is a different feel between the two. A survivor car just has that old car feel to it that many restored vehicles, no matter how accurately done, simply cannot seem to recapture. As a whole, the interior is in excellent original condition and can be enjoyed as-is. The odometer reads 26,228 miles and the owner believes this to be accurate. Though it is not documented original mileage, the condition of the interior alone is enough to be convincing.
Under the hood is a Chevrolet 454 V8. This is believed to be the correct, numbers-matching engine for this car. This alone adds great value and collectability to this vehicle, and also adds some evidence for the mileage claim. This engine runs great, and pulls a car this size with ease! There will be no desire for a more powerful engine with the 454 under the hood; this Corvette is properly balanced and is very agile. Navigating this car in tight spaces is a breeze, even with that big 454!
The current owner of this Corvette has had it for over 10 years, and plenty of paperwork and documentation is included with the sale to give a rough timeline of ownership. Documents include original owner's manual, copies of old titles, old registration cards, an original 1973 Corvette brochure, the original shipping/order receipt from the dealer by which is was sold new, and more. This is a very nicely preserved partial survivor that needs nothing but a new home!
