This award winning one year design C3 Corvette Stingray is a rare find!
Displayed here as it left the factory in 1973 with its original numbers matching engine and chassis, it also features the one year only striking finish of Corvette Yellow Metallic.
Comes with history back as far as 1996 including American receipts of work and service bills, it was exported to the UK in 2017 and fully restored by EMC Performance.
Their list of the restoration work is extensive and included the following:
* 1973 Corvette Yellow Metallic full respray
* Front & Rear Suspension rebuilt
* Power Steering rebuilt
* New Dual Exhaust System with correct Exhaust Tips
* New Seats, Foams, Backs, Covers & Seat Belts
* New Carpets
* New Dash Pad
* New Door Panels & Weather Seals
* New Rear Quarter Panels
* New Radio and Speakers
* New Parking Brake Console
* New Sill Plates
* New Outer Door Mirrors (both sides)
* New Brakes
* New Chrome Fenders & Emblems... The list goes on!
* Tyres have only around 1500 miles on them
* No mechanical issues, just a couple of minor paint nicks and supplied with a new brand new battery - starts on the key!
* Like most C3s, the mileage is 117929 although the reading is only able to show 17929
Winner of Best in Class at the UK Corvette Nationals in its only appearance and a head turner wherever it goes!
I took it to the Le Mans Classic and the D-Day Landing beaches in France without any issues, it could even be a daily driver if wanted.
Relocation overseas is my only reason for a very a reluctant sale.
