Photo: eBay seller 69x22ss
The 1973 model year was kind to the Corvette, as Chevrolet recorded another good performance from the lineup that was now even more expensive.
Everyone who wanted a Corvette in 1973 had to be ready to pay at least $5,398 if their target was the convertible or $5,561 for a coupe.
Most people picked the more expensive version, with the coupe making its way to 25,521 customers. This means more than 8 in 10 Corvettes sold this year left the factory as a coupe, with only 4,943 convertibles shipped to buyers.
The Corvette in these photos was part of the 1973 series, but anyone can tell in a second that its former glory is long gone. The car has been sitting for what could be years under the clear sky, and its only option today is a complete restoration.
The photos are frightening, and I wouldn't be surprised to see most people walking away after inspecting the image gallery. The car requires major work, and while the rust isn't typically a Corvette problem, you should check out the frame for signs of such damage.
eBay seller 69x22ss doesn't share many specifics, but they explain on the auction site that the car exhibits some damage on the driver's quarter due to an unfortunate accident when removing the car from the trailer.
Otherwise, the body doesn't look that bad, depending on your angle, but you might be disappointed to learn that the engine is no more. The car has likely been used as a donor, so if you were hoping to find an easy-to-restore Corvette, this isn't the case. The owner says the car sells with many "good parts," but if you're looking for a parts car, your best option is to inspect it in person to see what can still be used on your project.
The car needs a good price to find a new owner, and the seller knows this would be a tough sale without the right selling expectations. Such a Corvette can't be expensive, mainly due to its current shape, but the lack of an engine and a transmission makes it less desirable. It's also unclear what you'll get when you buy the car, so despite being born as an L82, it doesn't matter much today.
The owner will let this Corvette go for $2,150, and the price is firm, so no other offers are accepted. The good news is that 19 people have already added the Corvette to their watchlists, so fingers crossed that someone submits an offer in the next three weeks.
Meanwhile, the car is parked in Henrico, Virginia, and given its shape, it won't move until it finds a new home. You'll need transportation to take it home, and the owner says they can assist with loading.
