Glad to be a member. Thanks. I am trying to sell my 73 Roadster, and need to verify some info. The car currenlty has a 454, but I do not know how to determine if it is the original motor. Also, where is the option sticker? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the Shark Tank, xradox!!! 
Enjoy the site!
Check the engine block for the stamped VIN derivative. If it matches the VIN of the car, it is original. Look HERE for the stamp pad/VIN location.

Vette(s): Silver 1974 Convertible - L82 4 speed
Low miles (was only 8,900 when I bought it in March 2006) - Now 54K miles. Original owner bought it as an investment for son's college expenses.

You could start with the VIN decoder here on the web site (at the top of the page, put your mouse over "Tools" and it will bring up a list, one being "VIN Decoder"). That will show at least if the car originally had a 454 or not. I know for '74, the the 5th digit was the engine and a "Z" that year meant it got the 454. Not sure about 73 though...
I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!
