Gregg, I knew you were going to start this, so I guess I have to join in with what I have done on the 73 so far.

Hi Gregg,

Those are some real beauties!!!!
You certainly know how to take care of a car!

Alan

PS: I looked again.... your neighor's car is pointing the other way AND I think the little guy sitting on the porch moved his seat.

Steve,

Wow!!!! You must have purchased this before the term "Due Diligence" entered our lexicon....late model mirror's, non-year color, tubine wheels...... Just razzing you....I love these old photographs. Not to mention what you own today!!!!!!! Everybody has to start somewhere. Thanks for sharing.

Stay in tune...

WOW - Nice pics of your '73 Vettes, guys. I always liked them. Makes me think of a guy here in town that I have not seen in several years who owns a '73 which he purchased new. Last time I saw the car it had around 53,000 miles. I think a phone call is in order.
