    73 vette black????

    i am restoring a 73 coupe that i believe was originally painted black, although black was not offered in 73 i have heard that some cars left the factory with black paint, does anyone know anything about this, and what would the trim tag say in in paint code area?? thanks

        The NCRS TIM&JG says 30 cars were painted black in 1973. There should be something like "SPEC" for the paint code on the trim tag.

            "what/who is ncrs tim&jg??"

            NCRS = National Corvette Restorers Society -- the host of this site
            tim&JG = Technical Information Manual & Jusging Guide -- a book that tells one some of the items judges look for when they judge the Corvette. It also has some information which is not judged. Available from the NCRS store -- click on the radio button at the top right of this page. It says "NCRS STORE."
