Did any of the 73' year vettes make it out of the factory with removable rear windows? Found a 73' by the vin # with a build date of 12/72 and it has a removable window.
The removeable rear window ended in 1972. However, Corvette's from 73 to 77 can be modified to use the exact same glass and parts from 68-72 to become a removeable rear window car.
There are a couple threads on this around.
This mod is definitly on my list, but way down after a lot of other stuff.
Not sure if any accidentally made it out of the factory with the removeable window. It was definitly not orderable in 73.
The AIM shows a fix rear window, plus the dealer literature and magazine road tests stated it was fixed.
I have installed the removable rear window in the two '73's that I have owned. The current parts came primarily from ebay. I like the storage tray and I believe it is worth the $100 or so.
