Vehicle Detail
1973 Corvette Stingray. 52,707 original miles. This car has been in my family for over 35 years. Vehicle is numbers matching. Motor has been rebuilt. Bored 30 over with a comp cam. performer intake and roller rockers. Fresh engine has about 2000 miles on it and runs very strong like a Vette should. I have the original intake, valve covers, A/C compressor and smog pump that came on the car. These items will go with the car. Although the car looks great in the photos it does need a paint job and some interior trim to restored back to her glory. Currently a daily driver for me due to some rough times. It was my intention to restore her completely and make her a show piece. Sadly I am not able to do so. So for sale she is.A considerable amount of work has been done to this Vette. I will start with listing what has been replaced and then I will list what she needs. Within the last 3000 miles .All items were new or rebuilt. Items marked GM were new out of the box GM parts. AC delco parts were new. Ecklers parts were new or rebuilt. Engine rebuilt Radiator (ac delco), fuel tank (ecklers), fuel meter (ecklers), fuel pump (ac delco), starter motor (ac delco), upper and lower control arms (ecklers), front springs (ecklers), front shocks (ac delco), steering damper (ecklers), side pipe exhaust (GM), tires (BF Goodrich), brakes (ecklers) including new stainless sleeved calipers on all 4 wheels. Rear bumpers (GM) . Front bumper (GM). stingray emblems (GM). leather seat covers (ecklers). new seat bottom and back cushions. (ecklers). Rear license plate bezel (GM). tack cable (GM). Sill plates (GM) Transmission and rear was drained and filled with GM synthetic gear oil. New Ram clutch and pressure plate. Dash and center console is in great condition. No tears or anything. Seat covers are new. Original radio works fine but the speakers are not hooked up to it. All gauges work except for the speedometer. ( needs cable) and the fuel gauge works intermittent. Power windows work fine but the drivers switch needs to be replaced. Carb needs to be rebuilt. Only because its hard to start first thing in the morning. Fuel bowls leak down over night. I'm told this is common for these older Q-jets. After the first start she fires up all day immediatly. Its only a matter of the fuel getting into the engine on the entail start. Headlamps are slow to pop up. Interior needs door panels, carpet and some minor TLC. Weathersrtips are original and should be replaced. Exterior will need a comeplete paint job,(paint is pealing off) Side pipe covers ( plating is bubbling and pealing off) and rear luggage rack(minor surface rust spots) and rear fuel door emblem (sun fade). Body lines and seams are perfect. This vehicle was repainted some 25 years ago and parked in the garage. It was my fathers car. He gave me the car to finish. As we pulled the cover off the car we noticed bubbles popping in the paint . After driving it and the vehicle being out in the sun it has started some major pealing all over the car. This is a really tight Corvette. Runs and drives great. A paint job and some trim and a little TLC away from being a real classic. This is a great numbers matching almost all original Corvette. People are constantly telling me what a beautiful car she is. A day does not go by with some kind of Wow! from some passer by. I have tried to list everything I could on the car. Please contact me if you have any questions.
