C3 Chevrolet Corvette For Sale In Tampa (1968-1983)

This triple black rocket is a head turner. Sitting on 18-inch black Corvette Rallys with a body dipped in miles deep black paint, this 73 Vette is sinister! The paint is blemish free, the interior is fresh and sports C5 buckets, the T-tops and windows have fresh gaskets and are leak free, plus everything is in working order. The Car isn't numbers matching, but only because the anemic 350 was tossed and replaced with a 450hp, ZZ454 GM crate engine backed by a Tremec 5-Speed manual! All that power is harnessed with a rebuilt suspension with fresh bushings, and end-links. Additionally, Bilstein Shocks were added at all four corners and Hydratech assisted disk brakes reign things in when it's time to bleed off speed. There's even receipts and docs for EVERYTHING done to the car including new EFI fuel injection and complete rear end rebuild. Additionally, the headlights have been converted to electric from vacuum and shine bright with LED bulbs front and rear....

You sure can. However, if you're hunting for an authentic one owner, the market becomes much smaller. If owning a 'chrome bumper,' with paint so deep it looks like you could step into it, is your dream then search no more! There's nothing on the road that sounds like a classic Corvette fitted with side pipes. The fresh BluePrint stroker 383 engine, slathered in chrome, sitting under the L-88 style hood, omits a glorious exhaust note as you run it through the gears. This gorgeous Machine has been lovingly cared for spending its entire life covered in a garage and only taken outside on sunny days where it dominated the local car show scene. You want to go cruising, but it's a hot July afternoon, no worries. Leave the hardtop on and crank up the A/C. Or, take the hard top off and just use the convertible top. Pictures do not do this custom Corvette justice! You'll find it waiting...

From the arresting red paint and 17' polished wheels, this Vette is on point! The paint is fresh and mile deep with near show quality finish. The interior wears fresh black leather with red stitching and new door cards. ALL of the gauges are in working order and the AC blows nice and cold. There's even a custom steering wheel to bring it all home. The Seller is an Avid 'Old School' collector and has a few other cars and maintains a high standard. A standard that's exhibited in this Vette. He recently had $5000 dollars of work done including fresh brakes, engine and trans...

The Third Generation Corvettes or 'C3s' have transitioned from being nearly ignored to sought after classics. This white over red beauty has been garage kept, adult owned, and was repainted in 1995. The original 350ci was rebuilt in 1998 and fitted with Dart Aluminum heads and an aluminum intake. This strong running small block produces far more than the original 180hp mill it was manufactured with. A common problem with C3 Corvettes are headlights not operating correctly, but the current owner has replaced the vacuum system with electric motors making the lights work flawlessly. A new exhaust system and tires keep things easy on your mind and out of your wallet. The A/C isn't blowing cold, but no worries, just remove the T-tops and place them in the original storage bags. It may not be a real L-82, but it is an original real four speed car (M21). Corvettes...

This car was in the same owner's possession for almost 30 years before switching hands in 2020. During this extended period of ownership many items were replaced or upgraded to keep this Vette on the road. The odometer is reading about 145k miles, but many items were rebuilt or upgraded including fuel pump, axel bearings, both window motors, master cylinder, wiper module, front glass, radiator, front tires, and other wear items were replaced. The drivetrain is believed to be the original Crossfire injected 5. 7L V8 engine mated to a 4-Speed automatic transmission. The exterior was repainted in 2013. This '82 Corvette Collector Edition is a solid driver and a cool way to enjoy a vintage C3 that's not too nice to be enjoyed daily. If a restoration project is what you're looking for it' would...
