Welcome Aboard! I owned a '73 L 82 car along the way. It was a lot of fun. While I owned it I stripped it, replaced the interior and had it painted. It was a fun car that I even got to drive a lap around Daytona Speedway. Good luck with your '73!

Congrats, I always thought the '73 was the sharpest looking of the C3 line, with the soft front nose and the classic Corvette rear fascia. Not sure of it's collectability, but I thought it was the best looking C3.
