And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Correct! The 73 had a front rubber/fiber bumper and chrome rear bumper. The 74 had a front rubber/fiber bumper and a two piece rear rubber/fiber bumper. The 74 is often referred to as a "split-tail".
I agree, but the last few years of the C3 looked cool in their own way. The performance was crap but who cares? You're going to drop a ZZ4 in there anyways.
I have a 75 that I put a crate engine in and within a week blew the rear end as it and the transmission were only up to spec for the weak engine that was put in it. And the rear end is on top of the rear suspension so it is not a small job. So if you get one count on a total drive train re-do if you re-engine. ---ken
Pre '73? (Chrome bumpers, looks like?)

Deletemy brother tells me theres a big demand in Europe for 1970s Corvettes.
ReplyDeleteHe's got his eye on a '74 350 for 16K
I only like the early 70's stingrays.
