Honestly....besides a 69 coupe.......I think the 73 is THE best looking C3 made. The chrome bumper back end, with the rubber bumper front end, just exxagerate the long hood look of these cars, which is classic Corvette styling (up until they ruined it with the C8). Corvettes always have had a big long hood relative to the back end, and we are essentally sitting in the back seat of the car (close to the rear wheels). That combined with the simple, and functional, front fender side bent, the car has many of the best features of the entire C3 line. The raised hood works well for taller intake manifolds. I love it. Of course....I love them all.
