Default New to me 73...
After all these years, I finally have my childhood dream car! A 1973 red convertible! This car is the reason I love Corvettes. It'll be lucky number seven for me: red 64 vert, red 1992 coupe, triple black 1993 vert, black 1996 vert, red 2008 coupe, and a crystal red tintcoat 2011 Z06. I'm very excited going back to my roots!!!
