It's easy to love this 1973 Chevrolet Corvette. After all, it has L82/350/V8 engine, Turbo automatic Transmission, and that great wind-in-your-hair experience. But the fact that it's nicely painted in the best attention-grabbing Pearl White factory color is probably why you just can't get this one out of your mind. 1973 was the year of the purist C3 Corvette. It was the only time Chevrolet offered the body-colored nose with the chrome bumperettes, and legendary designer Larry Shinoda had said that this was his intentions for the C3 from the beginning (it just took them five years to get there.) There's just something about the factory Pearl White color on these convertibles that makes them amazing. It gives off a look-at-me attitude, but since it's this car's original correct shade, it's not being overly brazen. But the real reason it looks so good is because this bold from the factory appearance is carried over the whole car from the large exhaust ports to the shiny Rally wheels. It's no surprise that this factory pearl white car was also ordered with the perfect complementary interior color, black. It's one of the best hues for the inside because it allows the silver accents to pop on everything from the door panels, to the three-spoke steering wheel. It also looks especially nice since the pristine bucket seats have been upgraded to leather. This one also has some nice features such as an upgraded AM/FM/ stereo, and air conditioning. But like any true Corvette, you get the dual pod speedometer/tachometer in front of you, with a full gauge package prominently to the side. When the weather turns bad, it can all be buttoned up with m atching T-Tops Open the hood, and this one is dressed to impress.Beneath this great appearance is the serious substance of a Chevy 350 cubic-inch small block. The full powertrain package makes a great rumble out of the Flowmaster dual exhaust. This is a power steering car, with front power disc brakes, and grippy Goodyear Eagle tires. So, it's more than just powerful, this Corvette is a comfortable cruiser. In a rapidly appreciating market you're looking at an affordable Investment that will appreciate every year.
