Default Green 73 C3 for you and Me, Oakland, CA
I've got a '73 That I'm redoing as a dailly driver. I bought it to drive it. It has all the original parts, I am keeping them as I replace them. so far: disks, calipers, shocks, rear spring, steering gear, carb and dist to an HEI.
Next, seat belts, steering wheel, weather stripping, VDO tach. Fun as 'ell to drive. 4 spd.

You live in a great area for Corvettes - lots of twisty roads in Northern California. I lived there three different times, and miss the mountains and the roads. Florida is just TOOOOOOOOO FLAT.

Enjoy your C3, and I applaud your plan to DRIVE IT ! ! !

The '73 should make a good daily driver for you. My first Corvette was a '73 L-82 coupe and I put about 240K miles on it.
