I dont think those production records exist. Post some pics, sounds like a nice 73.
Well of approximately 30,500 built in 73 and 25,521 of those being coupes rare will not be part of the description. Only 4,412 buyers chose the big block. 21,578 buyers selected a/c, 14,024 wanted power windows. You didn’t mention what trans you have but only 17,927 buyers wanted an automatic.
I lived in Detroit most of my life and it was a big market for corvettes. I remember when the 73s came out and White over saddle seemed to be most common then red, then silver and Elkhart green tied for popularity in that market.
Just being a 454 car puts it in a small circle though. Let’s see some pics.

I wouldn't consider 4,412 units "RARE" that's still a bunch !!! Cars that were produced in hundreds or less I consider to be "RARE". Though, that's just ME !!!
My friend recently bought a 73 454 4 speed Corvette. It's blue with the aluminum wheels. I told him that the car would have come from the factory with rallye wheels,then I read on here that four Corvettes came with those wheels in 73. Most likely it is not one of the four cars that came with those wheels,but what if it is?
...your 1973 Corvette is rarer than you think and it is "one of one" as it's the only '73 Corvette with that VIN #, so you can tell everyone that your 1973 Corvette is the rarest of all '73 Corvettes.
Hey OP, welcome to the forum!! There are some really helpful people on here. And a very few who can get a bit snarky once in a while (don't we all!?). Rarity can have many definitions, but how often do you see a '73 on the road? It's a rare sight. I would encourage you to start a new thread and call it something like 'My new to me '73'. Include some pics and background on you and your new ride. You'll get some good input. Best, Paul

PS: Congrats on your new C3!
I agree that some of the oldies on here don't have the patience they should have with new folk
But it appears the OP is commercially flipping the '73 and wants to know if he should advertise it as being rare. I liked the response of it being 1 of 1 with that VIN. LOL
Being a big block 4 speed alone it probably makes up a very small percentage of ‘73s already. With the other options I would think there might only be a couple hundred exactly like it. I think Elkhart green by itself should make the car stand out. I love the color.
How Rare is this 1973 Corvette
