Dealer Options

What options did the dealer have that could be added to a c3 vette and still keep it "original"? Were there any Calloway or Yenko type upgrades performed on the c3 (My year is 71).

None. The dealers could add GM approved accessories, but these would not be "original" as left from the factory assembly line. These would include rear luggage rack, right hand companion mirror.

There were Baldwin (Chevrolet) Motion '69, '70 & '71 Corvettes made.

The Manufactures Suggested Retail Price Window Sticker from my 1977 has the "Luggage and Roof Panel Rack" listed and priced as an option ? I would post it for you but, I am not enabled to do so....

Depends on your definition of original. NCRS has their list of acceptable original options that were dealer installed that do not "hurt" judging", but some obviously are not, like the Motion performance package that was added to brand new Corvettes. An NCRS manual for your year will tell you if you are interested in their definition of original/acceptable, otherwise...there may be other organizations that try to define original.

1977 was the first year that the rack came from the factory. 1976 and older it was a dealer option.
