Hello All!
Looking forward to being a member and sharing info with other Corvette enthusiasts. My 1973 coupe was one of my favorite cars when I was younger, ended up trading it off for a family car in the mid 80's and regretted it every day. Well, long story short, 31 years after seeing the dealership guy drive it off I found a 73 coupe sitting in a pole barn for sale in the next town over. I really wasn't in the market for another car but I wanted to go look, just in case. Not only did it look just like my car, it actually was, with only 11,000 more miles than when I traded it off. I could not believe it until I verified VIN. So now I am going to store it in my shop until I can start putting some love into it and freshen it up.
