Market Highlights
- The 1973 Transition: As the bridge between the chrome-bumper era and the later rubber-bumper C3s, the 1973 Stingray occupies a unique niche. It offers a slightly more refined ride than earlier models while retaining the classic rear aesthetic, making it highly collectible for enthusiasts who value both style and drivability.
- Southern California Classic Market: In the La Habra and greater Orange County area, classic Corvettes benefit from a 'dry climate premium.' Buyers are willing to pay more for cars that have spent their lives away from the salt belt, as frame integrity is the single most important factor in C3 valuation.
- Investment Outlook: While 1973 models were long overshadowed by 1968-1972 cars, they have seen significant appreciation over the last five years. At the $30,000 price point, these vehicles offer a lower barrier to entry for the collector market while showing consistent year-over-year value growth.
