Hi folks, just introducing myself. I’m Carlos and recently purchased a Silver Metalic 1973 Corvette Stingray with medium saddle interior, 350, 4spd. Wasn’t crazy about the bumper combination on it, as I rathered a 1970-1972 model. Having said that, the car is in good shape with 47k original miles on it just needs TLC here and there as all old cars do. This 73 has grown on me and seems to attract a lot of attention. Back in the early 80’s I had a 76 Stingray which after 4 years, had to give it up because of having to take the kids to school. Not safe for two kids in one seat! Anyway, the Corvette itch never went away and just got remedied with the 73. Look forward to being a member in this forum. Cheers

Another sweet silver

BTW, '73 is a good year to own: 68-73 in my book.

Yeaup, like I said, she has grown on me. Oddball year, but unique in a way of sorts.
