Default 73 Convertible

This is a 1973 Convertible, I purchased the car 2 years ago from the original owner. When I bought the car, I received all the original factory and dealership paperwork. This car is in excellent shape and has been garage kept from day one. It has the original factory white paint still on the car and the interior is the great shape. The interior is red with a white convertible top. This car has never been wrecked. It has 136,697 miles on it but the engine and transmission were rebuilt 13,000 miles ago. No Rust anywhere on the car. I try and drive it once a week, the car drives and rides great. I have all the receipts for everything that has ever been done to the car. To many new parts to list here, I have taken it to a number of local car shows and it has done well at every show. The car is in almost perfect condition and is ready to drive anywhere.

Window Sticker Information:
J50 Power Brakes
L48 Turbo-Fire 350-4 BBL V8 Engine
M40 Turbo Hydra-Matic Transmission
N40 Power Steering
QRM GR70X15 Steel Belt Radial W/S (One of the original Firestones is still in the spare tire holder)
U58 AM/FM Stereo Radio
YK7 Convertible Top-White

Thanks,

Eddie

With the engine upgrades, how much did it increase the horsepower?

I never put it on a dyno or took it to a strip, so I can't say for sure, but by the seat of the pants, it's a whole 'nother car. Desktop dyno put it at just over 300 HP and almost 400 lb-ft of torque. This is much better than the 190 HP and 270 lb-ft the factory claimed. Now it feels like my old 300 horse 69 vette. Joe
