This 1973 Corvette had been owned by the same person for more than 20 years.
Now he’s passed away, however, and his estate is selling the car through a Denver dealership, with an asking price of $19,999 on eBay.
Before putting the car on the market, the seller says “a ton” of maintenance work was done to get it drivable, with about $14,000 worth of repairs being done.
The good news is that this ’73 is one of the 4,412 out of 30,464 produced to be equipped with the optional LS4 454/275 horsepower V8 engine, and the original numbers-matching powerplant is still intact, hooked to a four-speed manual transmission!
This black over black leather with the deluxe woodgrain interior option also features a tilt-telescopic steering wheel, “and so much more,” according to the Denver dealership handling the sale.
The ’73, of course, marked the first year for the urethane bumper on the front, with a chrome bumper still on the rear. Legendary designer Larry Shinoda has called this model as one of his favorites because of its long snout and abrupt rear.
The seller sums the car by calling it a “very clean numbers-matching, original stereo, original Rally wheels, chrome bumper Corvette for a very inexpensive entry-level price.”

Looks pretty nice but I’d be careful and check it out – check the trim tag for the original color as no black vettes were made in 1973.
Looks like it would be a decent looking fun driver quality Corvette. Larry Schinoda also liked the 73 because he said it was the closest looking production Corvette to the Mako Shark II.
Black on black, big block and no A/C means no summer driving.
