The Story

Sold new at Courtesy Chevrolet in Scottsdale, Arizona, and finished in its striking and correct Code 14 Silver Metallic, this 1973 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe represents a beautifully preserved and exceptionally well-documented example of the final chrome-bumper era Corvette. Showing just 29,523 original miles at the time of writing, this car has benefited from an incredible 35 years of single ownership—a testament to both its desirability and the care it has received throughout its life.

Powering the Corvette is the desirable matching-numbers L82 Turbo Fire 350 CI V-8, delivering strong performance and paired with the highly sought-after M21 close-ratio 4-speed manual transmission. Well optioned from the factory, this Corvette was equipped for both comfort and performance. Features include factory air conditioning, a tilt/telescopic steering column, power steering and power disc brakes, making it a refined yet capable grand touring machine. An AM/FM radio further enhances the driving experience.

Where this Corvette truly excels is in its extraordinary level of documentation and provenance. Accompanying the vehicle is an impressive collection of original materials, including the factory build sheet, owner’s manual, finance contract, Corvette Owner’s Card, and new vehicle warranty booklet. These items collectively provide a rare and detailed glimpse into the car’s delivery and early life. Equally important is its extensively documented service history, which meticulously traces the care, maintenance and preservation of this Corvette over the decades. This level of documentation is seldom seen, and adds a significant layer of confidence and collectibility, reinforcing the car’s authenticity and well-preserved condition. This 1973 Corvette coupe represents a rare opportunity to acquire a truly investment-grade example of one of Chevrolet’s most iconic sports cars.
