Default '73 Corvette loaded

My '73 Corvette is headed from Florida to Missouri this morning!

I can hardly wait to see her being backed off this transporter and is finally in my posession!

MODS! I'm not sure what Mods are already on the '73. We will have to take it from there! This is My First Classic car so rest assured , she will be pampered like a new born baby.

I own a 2009 Pontiac Solstice GXP which I have added several mods to so I realize how important Mods can be.Finally I reached the point that I couldn't decide whether to add a body kit, custom exhaust or custom painted mural on the hoodliner. Decided to do none of those but istead purchased a Classic Corvette. So now I will have two awesome Toys to play with.

Mamma didn't teach me to share...........

Welcome to the forum.

AH! A Missourian! I purchased this '73 from Ebay. Do you go to the Crusie In's in Camdenton and Osage Beach? I've attended a few of the Cruise In at Beach Burgers, in Camdenton 's Wal Mart's parking lot.

Crusie Ins are also held at Mexicana Blues and on The Strip one a monthly basis. If you'd like more information on those days and times I can provide those for you.

I was driving my 2009 Pontiac Solstice GXP. Hubby and I are joining the Lake of the Ozarks Corvette Club. Do you belong to a Corvette Club?

What color and year is your Corvette?

The title says this Vette is Purple.The seller says it is Burgundy. This car has had a complete off frame restoration and custom paint.

Who knows? One thing for certain, it isn't Black.
Here is the Ebay listing,What color do ya think she is?

Hi Vette Fetish,
I've not attended any cruise in's up there but heard about them and have ponderd the thought of doing a road trip up to there now that I feel the car will make the trip. I'm driving a 70 convertible currently blue on black and in the process of restoring a 70 coupe that is my avatar pic. If you dont mind, please go ahead and pm me a couple of dates for any shows or cruise ins.
I have a cruise in here in nixa this saturday evening that I want to go to but might try to come up in to your neck of the woods as long as it's not 110 degrees at 08:00 in the morning in a week or two.
Thanks, again nice car.

Thanks! I hope she is as beautiful IRL as she looks in all the pictures. I will know the answer to that hope within the hour! We just received a phone call and the Vette is within 30 miles of our house!
