Just click directly on the IMG code. It looks like you're clicking on the Email and IM code, then putting [IMG] around it.

14K is a lot for a 73 small block. But I'll tell you it sure looks great. Looks like a lot of bang for the buck.

Is it a Good Buy??? Well, It doesn't really matter now...now does it...since you already bought it.

If you like it, wanted it, and paid for it...must be a good buy. Car looks good...enjoy the hell out of it. I just picked up a 73 Myself...mine is the Opposite of yours though...Black

If the interior is as nice as the exterior, I'd say $14k is reasonable.

It looks like it has been taken care of. Does it run good?

Can't really tell too much from only two pics, but it looks like a nice '73.

Congrats.

Pics look very nice. For a 73 in excellent condition that's a good price.
