my whole point is he is advertising this car as a 1971 and it has a rubber bumper front and rear end and hood. I realize now I forgot the link. I was wondering why nobody understood. now follow this link and it will make sense. who said alcohol kills brain cells

75s had the individual "C-O-R-V-E-T-T-E" letters on the back. That has to be a 76. Odd thing is, it doesnt have the 76 steering wheel.
