Greetings from Fayetteville, NC! just wanted to say hello. First Vette owner here. Picked up a 1972 with 454 as my retirement gift to myself from the Army. Look forward to using the site and picking everyone’s head.

Congratulation and nice look car but it's not a 1973 unless someone modded it over the years. It's a '70-'72. Does it have the fiber optics lamp monitoring system? If so then it's a '70 or '71 as it was discontinued in 1972. 1973's had rubber front bumpers, cowl induction hood and smooth front 1/4 side vents.
BTW - I grew up in Fayetteville in the '70's

Thank you for the support! I do plan on restoring it but right now she is too fun to drive. Still trying to get the flat spot out when you are at an idle but still a blast to work on as well hahaha
