    It’s not just the 73 bumper, it’s the ‘73 hood and lack of wiper door, and the ‘73 front fender vents. Three strikes.

      I tried so hard and got so far but in the end it doesn’t really matter. “Chester Bennington”

      That's not a '73 nose but a '77-'79. It may why the front wheel sits back further than it should or it had significant front-end damage. At least Maple Motors acknowledges the car has flaws.

    Got my drivers license yesterday and turning 18 in a few weeks. Can't wait to drive the 75' C3 of my parents. A real rarity here in germany. Nice video man.

    I remember seeing these all over the place and it was the late 80s and early 90s. The Corvette and the late 70s Trans Am were the antithesis of the malaise era. BEAUTIFUL exterior, comfortable and sporty interior. A little love and the relatively low buying price and you've got the muse that inspired Prince for a song.

      1972's a bit prior to the malaise era of the 80's, but you're right, they're beautiful.

    Nick, you should sell tickets for like $100 to people to test drive any 5 cars of their choice. Walk around the lot, look at all the beauties on hand, relive some memories. The lot is like a museum. It would be a nice way to spend a couple hours.

    Premier price , for a restore candidate. Paint patch work tone differences. Never buy a vette unless you use x-ray vision to access the bird cage rought etc. my bucket list will be complete when I get a C3 68-77 CLEAN AN ECONOMICAL . Keep going for a ride Maple Motors thanks again 🇺🇸

    In the past I knew a guy with a 55 Chevy with a 56 front end. It drove some people crazy! This corvette is just as cool.

    Why does a 72 have a 73 front end ?

    • @Daddy53751
      @Daddy53751 10 месяцев назад +1

      Those vettes have some options on aftermarket replacements.
      Had a 75 that the nose had just become totally cracked up, and I was presented with choices in the aftermarket.

    It’s also missing the wiper door and egg crate vents from 72, but whatever the title says!
