First Time Vette Owner - 1973 PROJECT
Finally bought my first 'Vette...
I've wanted one forever. Got my wish last week-
It's a 1973 Coupe PROJECT I found for $2500. Everything's there, just gotta get the new tank in & hope it stays running....(Crossing my fingers).
Feels like %#@ Christmas in my garage nonetheless...

Welcome aboard and congrats on the C3! The '73's are nice as they are half chrome bumper/half rubber - kind of the best of both worlds. You got it for a good price and will enjoy working on it! How many times have you found yourself sneaking peeks at it? Kind of contagious, huh?
