You can see the metal spokes of the '75 steering('76 had the plastic Vega wheel-yeah, I know, you guys don't need reminded )and also in the pic you can see the upper metal seat trim bar that '76 Corvettes DID NOT have.

i can't wait for people to ask me that when i pull mine out..... with the small body mods and paint and all the other "stuff".... as one guy on the forum said..... u either have a sports car or a boombox.....well, i think i might have a little of both......
b
i have a 77.....well, was a 77..... since it's missing a few original things i might be able to bump it down to a 75 1/2 +/- a month or two

Edit..there is one way if you look very close in the interior...

I usually can tell by the exterior colors, though some are the same in 70-71.
I also seem to remember that the louvres on the side are different. Seems like 70s had all the ridges chromed, and 71s only had the verticles lines chromed, or vice versa.... or something different about the way they were detailed.
Anyone else ever notice something odd like that?
