Default 73 C3 FL Convertible - My first Corvette!


I just purchased a 1973 Convertible in medium blue with a white top and I am so excited! My father recently passed away and left me a little money. I could either stick it in the bank, or buy my dream car! Looking forward to many miles of smiles with my wife and kids. Really excited to be part of this forum, so much great information for a newbie like me!
