Seller’s notes about this car
1973 Chevrolet Corvette LS4
Why This Car Is Special
The Chevrolet Corvette (C3) was a sports car that was produced by Chevrolet for the 1968 through 1982 model years. The restored 1973 Chevrolet Corvette we have here at Skyway Classics is a real head turner with its bright red paint, black bucket seat interior, 454 cubic inch big block engine, and the automatic 3-speed transmission.
The 1973s started Corvette's transformation from muscle to touring sports car. A Chevrolet advertisement headlined: 'We gave it radials, a quieter ride, guard beams and a nose job.'
