Default My '73

Found this in a person's garage 3 years ago. 454 4 speed. Not running, paint shot among other things. Still have some things to do on my list. Learned a lot and still learning about these amazing cars. Never built it to win any trophies but it's placed 3 out of 5 shows. I enjoy cruise in's best. Had many ask me did I want to sell it. They say for the right price anything is for sell. Maybe, but not yet. I just enjoy meeting all muscle car owners and love all street rods. Painted back original yellow. Something about a yellow Vette that really pops in my opinion. Crazy how different lighting makes the yellow change appearance. I love it. Black stripe has metal flake in it for a little sparkle. Original 454 rebuilt. May change to a 5 speed at some point, maybe not. Original interior. Runs like a bat out of hell. Shake N Bake. If you're not a fan of yellow, this isn't for you. Ha. Have a great day Vette people.


Just sitting and not running.

New Flex Fit bumper from ACI
