Default Identify this corvette

My neighbors across the street just got a new car in their driveway...from the looks of it, it's a corvette, but it's undercover so it's difficult to tell the year.





best i can tell it appears to be a 69-73 due to the characteristic rear bumper.

what do you think?

(bonus points if you can correctly identify the color )

Looks like a C4 to me also. No way its a 69-73, those have a notchback rear glass, not a fastback.

tg,

I'll take the cookies! Then just walk over, rip off the cover, take a few pics, put the cover back on, post them up here, pour a glass of milk and eat cookies!



Great Job on the NCCO Hoodies!
