1973 Corvette Stingray (454 4 Speed) Numbers Matching - 17 Year Full Restoration

17 years, 1 Car, 1 Man, 2 Countries. Doug bought his 1973 Corvette in 1998. Unfortunately the car had a very hard life before he got a hold of it. With a twisted frame and countless other issues he kept it running. After breaking down on his way home from Vancouver one day he’d had enough. The car was stripped down to a shell, the interior and engine completely stripped. Once he got back to the basics he found a crack in the fire wall. It sat in our Garage in Canada in pieces for 12 years... when finally decision day came....we were moving to Australia. Doug, my Dad, was faced with two options...sell the car in pieces, that were spread around the garage, or take on the biggest hardest project with the shortest time frame and tightest budget he could have ever imagined. He had only 3 months to completely restore his 1973 corvette in order to make the deadline to get it into a shipping container to ship it to our new home in Australia. To top it off we were running out of time. He bit the bullet and came home with a new set of tires... the rest is history. It came right down to the wire with the house up for sale and people viewing it as my Dad finished restoring the car in the garage. We will never forget the hard work he put into restoring this amazing beast. Back from the grave it now has a new lease on life here in Western Australia. We could not be more proud of our Dad for never giving up hope. There was allot of long nights some lasting till 5am but he did it. Not only did he get the car finished but he has managed to restore it inside and out as well as move to a whole new country. He then had to get it road registered as per Australian standards. At long last...17 years of hard work really did pay off! Dad, we are so lucky to have such an amazing man to look up to, you did it, and we are all very proud of you!
