If your in the market for a '73 coupe, you maybe interested in this one. Just to be clear I have no ties to the seller!

Sorry, would not pay $500k for anything besides a house/property
And just because they got the factory to paint it black? Maybe they should have convinced them to install a ZL1 or LS6.

1, why... would they not offer black as a color? Thats just ludicrous. Its as classic as bright red.
2, For the love ov god... please... please get rid ov those awful 70-series tires. This is a sports car, not a farm truck.
3, i'm no expert, but shouldn't an L82, especially an early one, have a 6000 rpm (redline) tach?
4, Rarity does not necessarily mean valuable. While this is damn cool, and damn rare, i cant see even a rich guy with a pile ov sexy cars pass over a real L88 car for an L82 car. 500K can buy almost anything in the musclecar world. Especially if it doesn't have to be perfect (this car isn't perfect).
5, very cool car!

While this is a nice example of a restored 73 and I enjoyed saving the pictures for my 73 reference files that about all I got out of this listing. If I was paying $500K for a used Chevy with 113K miles on the counter I would want the headlights and power windows to work, just saying. Also based on the listing 15% of the body paint is not original, that's a lot of "Touch Up".

That's really a beautiful car. I wonder if that price is a typo, because, if not...
I've got a '75 that has VERY unique paint, done by the factory and hand signed by Mother Nature in Arkansas. Like a fine wine, the interior has been aged to bring out it's unique bouquet and nutty flavor. From it's beautifully owner rigged headlights, to it's not-yet-cracked Hecho en Mexico heads (very rare!), this is very truly one of a kind. Although it's a bargain at any price, $125,000 will put you into this true one of a kind CRAPO car.
Bring a bottle of power steering fluid and "some" coolant if you plan on driving more than 30 miles.
