Default Joining the Ranks Again!This time Chrome Bumper!

One Chrome bumper that is!

Well guys...I will soon be the proud owner of a Black 1973 Corvette Stingray!

Decided to pull the trigger.

Everything has come full circle! It was just a little over a year ago when I joined the forum and started my hunt...found a car and...well... We all know that story already!

So after all of that I will soon own another C3 and I just want to say thanks to everyone on the forum for all your help, chiming in on all my questions, giving me suggestions and advice...but it's not over because now I am sure I will have a thousand more questions...so this is also a Thanks in Advance!!!!

I will pick her up in a few days, she has to go back to the paint shop and get a few imperfections fixed before I take ownership...but then let the fun begin!

Anyone have an A.I.M and a Shop Manual for a 73 that they might wan't to trade for the 81 version???(long shot I know but gotta ask right?)

I know the car is not perfect but I think I did pretty well on the price...8500!

Super Excited!

Congrats on the 73 and welcome back. It won't be long and you will get back into the frustration mode (just kidding). I'm not Zora but I think the 73 is my favorite. I have been on the lookout for a big block 4 speed. Have fun and be careful.

Zora stated so in '74 as the 73-up rubber body mounts allowed him to stiffen the suspension a bit without the NVH guys yelling at him.
