The front chrome bumper was replaced with a federally mandated 5 MPH bumper that changed its looks significantly. This is the only year that a rubber front bumper and chrome rear bumper were used at the same time. A new side brace was added as well to increase safety. This was also the last year for the small integrated spoiler at the back of the car.As stated earlier, the bright red paint makes this Corvette an attention getter. The 1973 hood features cold air induction and removes the automatic panel that hid the windshield wipers. A vent in the hood by the windshield wipers provided cold outside air for the engine also. The new ducts on the sides behind the front wheels were non-trimmed and consist of just one large vent with body styling.It has T-tops, great chrome and trim, large rectangular exhaust tips, and has a great presentation.ConclusionThe 1973 Chevrolet Corvette we have at Skyway Classics will be an attention getter wherever you drive it to and will have the additional power with the 454 engine, and great handling to challenge you as a driver to drive it as it should be driven.So give us a call at 941-254-6608.DisclaimerInformation found on the website is presented as given to us by the owner of the car, whether on consignment or from the owner we bought it from.
