Nice one! Black looks great!
Is it a 4-speed or auto?
Congrats and welcome to the obsession!

Nice vette, It doesn't look like it needs much, if any thing,
which only leaves more time for driving it. Enjoy.
Riggs.

My first Corvette also
Your way ahead of the game at 21.
I'm 61 and also just purchased my first Corvette in December. Also a 73 Coupe. I put the dream on hold for 39 years while I raised a family and started a business. Finally I can't wait until spring.
The painting is complete, just waiting for the weather to warm up!

Welcome to Corvette Forum and the '73 club. The one year only Corvette. Nice first Vette, bought my '73 when i was 24 and will never let go 25 years later. The car has been my stress reliever through it all. Drive it as much as possible for maximum enjoyment.
