CHEVROLET CORVETTE STINGRAY 454 – 1973

Chevrolet Corvette C3 from 1973 in a rare configuration – a 454 cu in (7.4L V8 LS4) engine paired with a manual transmission. In 1973, only 4,412 units of the 454 LS4 version were produced (around 15% of total production), and just a fraction of those came with a manual gearbox. There are no official records of how many cars were equipped with both the 454 LS4 engine and a manual transmission, but only 1/10 of all Corvettes from that year – regardless of engine type – had a manual gearbox.

This was the last model year featuring the classic chrome rear bumper and the first with the redesigned one-piece front end – a transitional model available only for a short period. Like all Corvette coupes, the car features removable roof panels, known as the T-Top.

The car was imported from the United States in 2024 in very good visual and mechanical condition. In Poland, it received a basic inspection and mechanical service, including a conversion of the headlight operating system from pneumatic to electric. The Corvette is registered in Poland with valid technical inspection and insurance.
