Default Getting my C3 Tomorrow!

Found a much better Corvette than the silver one, a 1973 Vette! It's white and was restored recently. Really happy with this one.

Love those '73! Is it an L-82? A 4 spd would be over the top!

It was an L-82. It doesn't have the original engine, but this new one is far more powerful. Don't know the actual HP but it feels crazy compared to the '76 with the numbers matching engine.

You don't know it yet or maybe you do by now but the 73 is the perfect Vette. Your search is now over.
