Hello everyone
Thanks for having me join. First time corvette owner. I picked up a 1973 convertible with 454/4speed original. It has the dark red interior. I was told the color scheme was rare, but I don’t know enough about them.
l have started replacing some items worn or missing, so I am hoping to get good information from this site to help me do things correctly. I don’t like to rig things and pay for it later.
thanks again
Mike
