Default Got to love Ebay...

Found this 73 on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...&category=1258

Seller makes the statement: Only 207 ragtops were built this model year (ahhh, off by 4738, total conv production was 4943). He then goes on to say Powered by a very clean 350 LT1 motor with numbers matching. The LT1 was not available in '73 so thought he may mean that an LT1 was installed in the 73 but he say "matching numbers" so...... The car is nice looking in the pics.

Just by posting your car on e-bay, it becomes an investment-worthy rarity worth thousands more than when not posted on e-bay. Also, the seller is allowed to create new vehicle configurations and options never originally offered by the OEM. What a great place! :D

I sent him an e-mail. He said he was selling the car for his boss and got the information from him. Called him a "doink". The guy seemed cool about it and edited his listing.
