Bought my first Corvette
Hi all, I'm a brand-new Corvette owner in Northern VA. It's a 1973 fixer upper, finished in flaky white and primer grey. Originally optioned for an LS4 w/auto, the previous-previous owner installed a 350 crate. 1973 is my favorite body style - I love the early C3 rear end, and the clean pre-bumper-post urethane nose. I intend to clean it up and slowly bring it up to a more modern spec, with a probable LS swap down the line. Happy to be here!
