Default '73 Stingray help

Hey... dont drift over here often...

I've got a client purchasing a '73 Stingray - made his wife call for the new insurance quote and (of course) she knows absolutely nothing about it. Assuming its a true 'numbers matching' car and the condition is a 7/10, original paint, interior, just needs a good detailing - what would be the approx replacement value? They're paying $7500... Approx 50k miles and driven 2-3 times a week... Also, I'm assuming the Stingray was available in '73, what were the engine options? ...or just one?

THANKS

bleh, forgot to mention - manual tranny, t-tops, numbers matching

Google is the Delphic Oracle of the Internet era.

BTW..."Stingray" was just a badge applied to all 69-76 cars. It doesn't denote anything special.
