Hello from Slovakia, 1973 Stingray

Hello, greetings from Slovakia. Martin here... corvette fan for many years and recent corvette owner. So two years ago I finally bought my first corvette, a 1973 stingray, Mille Miglia red on the outside with dark red interioir. Basic on the mechanical side with 350cid L48 engine and automatic transmition, but with some comfy options on the inside. It took some time to get her into good condition, but this summer she's running well and I love my corvette

See you around in other forum discussions, hope I'll find answers to my questions and learn more.

P.S. Any fellow owners from Slovakia around here?

You’ve got one good looking ‘73. Hope you get many opportunities to get behind the wheel and take her out for a spin.

Hello, I bought the vette in Europe. It was shipped from US by a classic car dealer and then sitting in their inventory for a moment before I found it.
