What are some hard to find Vette parts?
I am compiling a list of some of the hard to find Vette parts. List some parts that are hard to find or not reproduced.

1972 BB Rochester carburetor for a manual trans. Model number 7042217. If you find it, you can't afford it.

You know what's funny, I picked up a very nice condition 7042202 (SB, auto) q-jet at a local yard, loose, with no vettes to be seen on the lot, for the grand sum of 25 bucks.
To add to the hard to find parts, the Y shaped t-top hold down strap in the interior.
