73 Vette
 
Thanks for all the great comments, this is really a nice low mileage Vette. The exhaust was upgraded to 2 1/2 inch from my understanding, I just had new mufflers installed. I learned they painted the exhaust black, I am not a Vette expert by any authority.

Very nice looking Corvette! Looks just like it did in '75! Whoever purchases it will appreciate the tilt wheel especially if you're six foot plus! Nice originality and docs. GLWS!!

That round thing on the console is for the defroster I believe.

Yes, they used a 1969 style radio knob for the rear window defroster.

The round chrome knob is the defogger that you see on the side of console. The Vette does have a factory alarm system as well.

I installed the Original Wheels, Trim Rings and Center Caps that the car came with. Prior owner had all this boxed up, he had removed the original wheels around 1980. I took a picture to show the clips on the trim rings.

This was the first year for factory installed radial tires, also. We had two new 1973 Corvettes in our neighborhood and I remember them well. I really liked them and have since owned a '73.
