WOW. 
SUPER nice car man. Only 6K miles, looks like even a factory option fire extinguisher, and that seller knows how to properly sell a car.
That car could have been sold at Barret Jackson for sure.

I saw the same car on Ebay about 3 years ago. Only had 5,800 miles on it then. bid was up to 50K+ at the time.
Same color as mine, great reference for restoration...oh lottery gods where are you now!

...anybody catch that this was going to be a Z07 car??? Then, on one of the "original" order forms it says "Suspension & Brake Handling Pkg Not Available with A/C". The few Z07 cars I've seen(1974 & 1975)were it seems always "loaded up" with options, including A/C.
...it is a gorgeous car. Not sure the Radial T/As are original though.

he does mention the tires have been changed to the BF Goodrich's--does sound like a pretty straight forward seller.

This is my 2nd favorite year after 70. I was drooling looking at those pics and love the color. NCRS should see this one for a benchmark standard. Reminds me of the white 73 someone bought a month or 2 ago from the original owner. I did notice the vent door behind the drivers side kick panel looked rusted. Still an outstanding example.

Lyle, I was surprised to see the clamps ahead of the mufflers? I thought '68-'72s had the "rearward pipe connected to muffler" as all one piece from the factory? Not sure on this one.
...also noticed the original order said "3.70:1" rear ratio, but car was built with a "3.55:1" rear. May be cause this car had A/C?
...still a gorgeous '73.
Looks like it went just over $31K and a no sale.
Cant say we cant dream
