  • Unrestored original Chevy. Original drivetrain never opened. 104000 miles. Great color combination, good looks and a well handling 50 years old car!
    400 CID V8 smallblock, TH350 transmission.
    Import from Indiana in 2018 (to Denmark). I have the original bill of sale; sold as a demo in 1973 with 500 miles on the clock.

    Dad brought a pale yellow one home new when I was 5. Kept that thing pristine til the 80s whe I left home. Light beige interior brown carpet. Put a few hundred thousand miles on that 350 it never skipped a beat. Super reliable car
    Back window and trunk shape I thought were so cool. Nice curve plus the trunk looked like a reverse cowl induction hood.

    My family had a 1980 Caprice classic. Interior-wise it wasn't much different than this even though it was 4-door and wine colored in and out. Nostalgia hitting hard.

      I once had a 1978 Caprice, as the 1980 model they’re very different from this 1973, smaller but true to the “concept” and still very nice!!

      @@carscloseup Some things are ingrained into my childhood memory... Like staring at those side mirror adjustments that my dad sternly warned me never to touch... Sooo tempting for a 5 year old boy. They looked like a video game joystick that I just HAD to try... But was never allowed.

    My parents purchased a Detroit demo loaded 73 Caorice for cheap in 1974 that was equipped with a 454. Our German relatives loved it as it was so powerful.

    That car is absolutely beautiful. It really has 104,000 miles? It was really well cared for. My 73 coupe was forest green with a black interior, it had the split bench seats also. Mine had 240,000 miles on the original engine and transmission, only repairs were a new timing chain and water pump. Unfortunately, the northeast US winters consumed the frame and body with rust. Are you sure it had a TH350 tranny? My small block 400 came with the TH400 tranny. The weak link on mine was the driveshaft, that crazy "constant velocity joint" wore out every 70,000 miles. Loved that car, wish I had it today in showroom condition like yours. I am so envious! Please take extra special care of that wonderful car! Feel free to ask about any future issues you might have, I am intimately familiar with that car for sure! All the best, wish I lived closer so I could come and sit in your car...Don

    I had a ‘73 Bel Air which was bottom tier by then, and it is the most reliable car I’ve ever owned. “Weak” 350 that didn’t have enough power to break anything, had highway gears…drove smoothly, took a beating, and never let me down.

      I love the simplicity and style in these cars. On paper this 400 has 150 hp, but in reality it has enough power to keep up with modern traffic…

      These cars were extremely stylish and very very very classic looking I had a 1973 Chevrolet Monte Carlo and I did love that car that was my first new car that I bought on my own but it had a 350 and not a lot of power but it was a nice ride I drove that car all over the country and I would do it again in that car. They made cars back then that you really really did love them comfortable classy looking at chrome bumpers now they're plastic junk

      The price listed by the uploader is what they scam people into paying on bring a trailer. Nobody actually cares about those values, its a 3 grand car at most day in day out. Sedan is less and certain colors too. Black and white are always 3 grand. This green? Maybe fifteen hundred. Still clean and new.
