Hi everyone!
I've been viewing the site for a few years and registered awhile ago but never introduced myself, so I figured I would today.
I bought my '73 Corvette 20 years ago and started the slow process of "cleaning it up". It's a matching numbers small block manual convertible with a hard top. The motor has been mildly worked but still runs knock-free on premium gas; added power assist braking and other minor improvements, but the car is essentially as it originally was with one exception-color. Original color: Yellow Metallic; New color: Bridgehampton Blue (painted 2011).
Love the site and its been a great resources for information and entertainment!
Before and after pictures below. (I hope
