Just think, if you have a coupe with a factory hard top you would have a 1 of 1 car because according to the data only convertibles had them. That is the issue I have with math; you can make it almost anything you want to if you use percentages and statistical analysis. LOL.

I'm building my driving car now with hopes to have it out and about in the Spring. 383 stroker convertible with Vintage A/C; Borgeson power steering; Willwood Power Brakes; Electric Headlights; Tremec TKX Five Speed transmission; 3.70 rear; and more for scooting around. Should be fun.

It’s completely stripped right now and an empty shell ready to go to the painter hopefully in October.
Once he is done aligning all the seams, I’ll get the chassis back so I can strip it.
A 496, TKO 600, coil over suspension and many other upgrades will be going in.
How do you like driving you new baby with manual steering?
I’m thinking about going from power steering to manual steering when I put the 73 back together.
I have a new Borgeson ps box sitting on the shelf but not sure if I want to use it or not.

Keep in mind the "calculator" on the C3Registry does not take into account interior color quantities and leather versus vinyl breakdowns. That information does not exist. In addition for the 1973 and 1974 model years, exterior color quantities are not known. Plus, I cannot get their math to work. This calculator will lead you astray.
BTW, in 47 years of Corvette ownership, I have yet to see 2 identical C3 Corvettes, excliding Pace Cars, Silver Anniversaries, and Collector Editions. So just about everyone has a "1 of 1". And the ones on this Forum are all beautifull!!

I’ll be pulling the engine out of my 73 today.
It’s completely stripped right now and an empty shell ready to go to the painter hopefully in October.
Once he is done aligning all the seams, I’ll get the chassis back so I can strip it.
A 496, TKO 600, coil over suspension and many other upgrades will be going in.

Good luck with your decision.
