Default Finally mine--
Morning all, I'm Matt and I got my C3 1973 Stingray from my Dad 29July22. I have been wanting it since 1985, and he finally decided to pass it down. It looks pretty good as he just had it painted, and there is only minor mechanical left to finish... Ac/heat and pop-up lights.. some other little stuff. But i will be making many trips to this forum I am sure as I have many, many years of taking care of her ahead of me :-)

1973 454 Stingray w/AC --before all work finished
