Congratulations!!!
Your partner had entered you in a lottery where the prize was a choice of Stingrays......a 1973 L48 Automatic coupe, and a 1974 L48 Automatic convertible. Both cars are in identical condition and same color with a black standard interior. Which car would you choose when you win?

I prefer 73s and it's probably worth a few dollars more, but I'd always go with a convertible.

Not even a contest, I'd take the 74.

No brainer, I'd take the 73 coupe. Now if that 74 vert had a 454 I might reconsider.

I just don't understand the mixed bumpers on the 73'
Is it hard to change the front bumper to chrome too?

I'd take whichever one has the best resale value, sell it, and put the money in the bank

No brainer for me - the 73 - the most beautiful car ever.
