Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of Charlotte is excited to digitally present this 1973 Chevrolet Corvette blends iconic styling with modern performance and drivability. Finished in stunning Lunar Blue Metallic over a Black interior, this Corvette offers the classic presence of America's sports car while benefiting from carefully selected upgrades throughout. Power comes from a formidable 454 cubic-inch Big Block V8, paired with the legendary Muncie M22 Rock Crusher 4-speed manual transmission, delivering the unmistakable torque and sound that made big-block Corvettes legendary. Power is transferred through a Dana 36 C4 independent rear differential with a 3.45:1 gear ratio, providing strong acceleration while maintaining comfortable cruising capability. Performance and handling have been significantly enhanced with an upgraded suspension and steering system. The front suspension features SPC and Global West control arms combined with QA1 coil-over shocks with adjustable damping, offering improved cornering, ride quality, and tunability. A Borgeson steering conversion delivers a more precise steering feel, while a Wilwood Hydro-Boost braking system with upgraded front calipers provides modern stopping power and confidence. Additional drivetrain enhancements include a Tilton hydraulic clutch system with a McLeod hydraulic throwout bearing, ensuring smooth and reliable clutch engagement. An OBX stainless steel exhaust system gives the big-block V8 a deep, aggressive exhaust note. Designed for both performance and comfort, this Corvette is equipped with Vintage Air air conditioning, making it enjoyable in any season. Cooling is handled by a 4-core aluminum radiator with dual electric cooling fans, helping maintain consistent operating temperatures even in demanding conditions.
