1973 Chevrolet Corvette - Stingray

Number of cylinders: 8

Registration number: 80-YD-01

Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, 1973. 128,165 km.

1973 was the year America briefly lost track of what it wanted. The oil price rocketed, Washington started tinkering with bumper regulations, and the good honest citizen suddenly began asking awkward questions about his thirsty V8. And it was precisely in that year, right in the middle of the storm, that this Corvette Stingray rolled off the line. A car that stood squarely against the spirit of the age: eight cylinders, a block so big you could brew your coffee on it, and an attitude that treated the crisis as something for people with smaller engines.

Every car here follows the same route: first pre-market, then the showroom, and finally the live auction on our own site. What changes is the way you buy, not the location — once a car has arrived, it stays with us in Katwijk. This one is in the showroom and you are welcome to come and see it, no appointment needed. You buy it here at a fixed price: no bidding, no waiting. Our showroom in Katwijk, 30 km from Amsterdam Schiphol, is open Mon–Fri 9–18 and Sat 10–17. Call ahead and it will be standing ready, with someone free for you.

Our showroom measures 6,000 m², with over 150 cars under one roof. You are just as welcome if you are not buying — walk around, take your time and enjoy the cars; sharing the enthusiasm is half of it.
