Fred B’s 1973 Silver 454 Big Block, 4 speed
This is my 1973 Silver 454 Big Block, 4 speed Coupe. I had a 1977 C3 Corvette before, and after I “graduated” to a 1986 Yellow Coupe, I still desired a C3 notch back car, but this time with a big block. I live in Kentucky and found two that might fit the bill. So I took off a day in the summer of 1996 and went and look at both cars. One in Portsmouth, Ohio the other in Cincinnati, Ohio. I settle on the one in Cincinnati, it was a lower mileage car 41,000 and it looked structurally in real good shape. On my second trip up to purchase it, I took along a person who had done a frame-off restoration with me to verify it was a sound car. Upon his inspection he said the only thing wrong with the car was it had been repainted, and was painted “dry” [not enough carrier in the paint for self leveling before it was dry] He also said that If I wasn’t going to buy it, he would. I am the fourth owner of the car. The first owner was a woman, who was a hospital nurse administrator, who drove it for 19 years to and from work in the spring through fall months, 39,400 miles. The second owner stuck it in a barn for 6 years and only drove it 60 miles. The third owner put the remaining miles on the car. In 1996-97 the car was repainted [what you see in the picture] It was a showroom job. Boots Autobody, in Lexington, Kentucky. The interesting history of the car since is that it was in the Evolution Display in Nashville and Bowling Green during the 2003 50th Anniversary Show. It got a Celebrity Choice Award in the same year by Bob Clift at the National Corvette Museum. It has been a display car twice at the National Corvette Museum; once in the St Louis Assembly Plant Exhibit [in 2007] and the second time in the World’s Only Threes Exhibit. That is because the only 1983 Corvette in Existence is on permanent loan to the museum by GM. Cars displayed were 53, 63, 73 [my car], 83 [the one and only] 93,and 03. It was also featured in America’s Sports Car Magazine in regards to the Exhibit. It was on display again in the 60th Anniversary Evolution Display at the National Corvette Museum in 2013. The banners in the picture are from the National Corvette Museum from when the car was on display in the World’s Only Three’s Exhibit. 51,292 miles presently on the clock. When the car has been displayed, its been with a set of rally wheels. I am a lifetime member of the National Corvette Museum.
