For Sale - 1973 Corvette Coupe, metallic gold with buckskin tan interior


Recommended Posts

I was at our local "Cars and Coffee" event this morning when my friend Wayne pulled up in his 1973 Corvette Coupe (with T Tops). I was stunned, no shocked to see a for sale sign on it. Seems Wayne is starting a pickup project and needs room in his garage. If you are looking for a great corvette for local shows and cruise-ins, this would be a great car. The car has been restored, while not back to original specs, it is truly a geat looking car and turns heads running down the road. It is so clean that you could eat off of any piece of it, including the undercarriage. After I picked myself up from the shock, I told Wayne that I would put it on the forum.

The car is located near the hamlet of Orlean, VA, which is about 60 miles due West of Washington D.C.

Wayne wants $18,500 OBO for the car. It has 66,000 original miles with 3,000 since restoration.

His email is: partndn at BlazeBroadband dot com telephone is 703 909 0813

I am going to include the pics I took of the car at the event this morning. I am sure that Wayne has many more pics if you are interested in the car.

OK, here are the specifics of the car.
