| 01/06/2016 I have always wanted one of these since I was young, so when the right one came along I pounced without regard to thinking that with 2 seats, I leave one of my kids at home. So I had my fun working on it and driving it, I am now looking for something with 4 seats. So about the car: The Good: Honest matching numbers L-82 with correct heads, carb, bell housing, and trans. It is a CLR coded engine, meaning its mated to a 4 speed. In this case, its the Muncy M21 close-ratio gearbox. It has MANY factory options including A/C, P/B, P/S, P/W, deluxe interior and tilt/tele steering column. Its been a CO car its entire life and was parked during the winters, as it is now. So no rust issues with the undercarriage or birdcage. The body is great with nothing missing and does not appear to have accident damage. I purchased it from a friend of the original owner, so you will be the 4th. The vacuum system was serviced and works great. The drivetrain was rebuilt 25,000 miles ago and runs like it. It has hooker headers with sidepipes that sound great. The Appliance MagWire wheels may or may not be your cup of tea. It is a factory red Vette coded with the Deluxe Medium Saddle Leather interior. The car drives wonderfully. The P/S is very noticeable and the front end goes where you point it. It handles wonderfully. I drove the car like I was going to keep it, so I never raced it. I never even put the engine above 4000 RPM, I never needed to. The speed is intoxicating. The Bad: The seats are usable but could use new foam and covers. The paintjob appears to be of Maaco quality and the front nose is cracked. The previous owner tried to install a center digital dash, but could not get it to work, so some electrical work will be needed. The A/C compressor sprung a leak and was removed. All the components in the car were left and sealed up. Included are all the parts except the compressor. The windshield is cracked. The horn does not work and the telescoping feature needs to be tightened. It locks, just not enough. The drivers side A Arm bushing squeaks. The Ugly: Yes, the interior. The previous owner had the interior covered in a leatherette material back in the late 70s, which apparently was all the rage. It was just too old and dirty to save so I have spent a lot of time stripping it off to reveal mostly original panels. They are covered in an adhesive residue, so that will need to be removed. But for the most part, everything just needs minor repair and dye. What is Included: With the car are a lot of parts. Many expensive and new: Correct rear tail lights, New seatbelts - Old ones included, All interior panels (require cleaning, minor repair and dye), Correct year radio, All A/C components with exception of compressor, Gauge assembly, Interior hardware kit, New headlight switch, 2 service manuals with wiring diagram, New carpet kit , L-82 air cleaner base, Shift boot seal, Key blanks, Spare tire carrier V Strap, Original owners manual, all ducting for climate control, original jack and owners manual. All in all, a great quasi-project that you can drive and enjoy now. The 1973 was the first year of the L-82 (oh, faster than the LS5 by the way, according to Car and Driver that year), the first year of added safety features, and a one year only design. Everything that makes muscle cars desirable, this car has. It seems Corvettes have always lagged in terms of value, but I have been keeping an eye on values of the C3s and they are starting to come up. Hagertys has this car, in fair condition (the lowest grade), with the options at $17,150. I want it to go to a good home so I am very negotiable with the right person. |
