1973 Chevrolet Corvette Reviews, Pricing & Specs

There is absolutely nothing I dislike about this car, after 12-years of ownership I have it just about where I want it. However, I am considering changing the wheels and tires soon. My wife wanted to know when would it be finished, it will never be finished ! There is always something to do to the car, unlike my BMW which you can only buy gas and have it serviced.

Excellent acceleration for its era, braking is good, handling crisp-- power steering offers no feed back. Build quality- frame, powertrain solid, body looks good after all these years. Exterior is beautiful, I personally like the interior design, and it fits me well (or I fit it well). Eats gas, but gas economy is not why I got it. Have had some expense in suspension restoration, but other than that, just fine. Great fun to drive, the Corvette rumble is wonderful to listen to. NOTE: in October of 2011 I had to rebuild the Rochester Q-jet. The rebuild was reasonable and everything is working fine now. The crud that is in the 10% ethanol gas in this area is unbelievable, the interior of the carb around the jets and in the bowl had what appeared to be a light reddish-white particulate in it. The filter was not clogged so I presume it settled out of the fuel once in the carb. Try to run real gas in these things or find an additive that can treat the problems with gas that has 10% ethanol in it.May 13, 2010

beautiful car, i miss the chrome front bumper but its only a new front clip away. handles beautifully, looks amazing, and has tons and tons of torque but not speed to a certain extent. you can easily top 160 on express way with her. interior looks great, dash looks good with all those specific gauges for heat oil temp. would need new suspension but stock works great. overall its a perfect vette, they just dont make them that beautiful anymore. i wish the motor wasnt capped as much as it is. Surprisingly the 350 only pushed 190hp, which would be equivalent to a stock 2007 6cylinder charger. drivability its a work of art. sitting inside for the first time is nothing less that sheer amazement. inches from the floor, its gives a sense of speed and agility like never before. winshield is deeply angled to make in aspect with the body of the car. driving visability is really low but that doesnt necessarily mean its a bad thing its a corvette! in laymens terms, you can probably get more visability out of a 2010 camaro than you would from this vette, but it one of the numerous reasons why i love it.Jan 26, 2010

Performance- For the era, it was amazingly fast. Not so much any more. Still pretty fast though Build Quality- Well its a 36 year old car... of course it has issues Appearance- Thoughts may differ, but this car is gorgeous. They definitely went form over function as the interior is somewhat small Cost of Ownership-Once again, this is a 36 year old car. Once it is fixed completely, then it won't cost much to maintain. It really drinks gas though Fun Factor-Once all the kinks are worked out, this car will be amazing. Fast, gorgeous, and rare, people pay attention.Sep 19, 2009

All my driving life I have wanted a "Vette" I always pictured a 78' but I fell in love with my little yellow "RumbleBee" She's fast,sexy and fun as heck to drive. Even when she's grabbing pavement she looks like a peice of art...a car of the past. I have had many sports cars, 78 Firebird,78 Camaro,66 Caprice,89 5.0, 97 firebird, and an 86 Fiero...... but this baby will never, EVER be traded off, sold or given away. She's a keeperDec 12, 2008
