Car history:
You are looking at a nice original 1973 Corvette 4 speed that has been barn
stored for a very long time. It is cosmetically in great shape for the year of
automobile but does have it's issues. It is a repaint years and years ago and the
color to be original (952 Bright Yellow). The title is also clear.

The car that has not been hit that we can see, but the frame needs to be welded
or replaced due to rust. It also appears to have the original engine and intake
based on the numbers on the engine pad (see photos). We are unsure, but do not
believe the carb to be original. We also do not know if the cam or other engine
components are stock. In the past 25 years, it has been stored much of it's life
and has not been driven. The period correct ghost flames are a nice touch, but
can be buffed off (not clear coated that we could see), but are unsure how well
and will leave it to the next owner.

What does the car need? While it runs, it runs rough and needs at least a tune up.
The car frame needs to be welded or replaced with a good used one as stated,
due to rust. The brake and fuel lines which are probably shot. We have it running
on a gallon bottle of gas under the hood. It has no brakes and we have not tested
the clutch aside from pulling it in and out of the garage. The interior carpet needs
replacement and seats need to be recovered. The rear tail light lenses and wheels
are not original, and it needs a replacement front bumper. The radio is not original
but the CB mike is there. The front license plate bracket is also there. Make no
mistake that the car is not road worthy or drivable and will need to be trailered.

The good news is that the paint is nice except for the spots shown, the tires are
older but literally have no wear and all match. The car is very original and
warrants a good used frame, which should be cheaper than a paint job these
days. This is a great car to start with, and the 1973 Corvettes are destined to be
classics in our opinion given the single year design. The battery is also brand new
and the glass is good. The body is pretty straight with the exception of the one
minor fiberglass repair shown in the photos. The rest of the wheel wells appear to
be damage free. The bird cage also looks much better than the frame and other
Corvettes we have seen.
