My 76 was also a radio delete with no options. Just a plain old corvette stingray.

The factory a/c on my LT-1 convertible was pretty rare. 1 of about 57.

70 Convertible
Bridgehampton Blue / White top/Black standard
LS-5, M21, G81 3:70
N40 PS, UA6 alarm, U79 AM FM Stereo
What I find odd is the LS-5 cost $289.65 and the stereo radio cost $278.10!

My '74 came with a previously unknown option, that has just surfaced now, with it's own special code even. This code is FU4EVR. It becomes active when you buy that special C3 and then discover that it will FU 4EVR!

True, it is a fun, it is special, but it will always dip into your pocketbook, wallet or bank account and there's an automatic feature that keeps numerous Corvette Vendor catalogs coming to your house regularly and funds going to them in the same pattern. There is no escape from Option Code FU4EVR. Another feature is this keeps beer in the fridge, bandaids and aspirin on the workbench, because you're gonna need em all!

'81 4-spd

Power windows/mirrors/locks/antenna/driver seat, aluminum wheels, AM/FM w/Cassette. The oddity, IMHO, is no cruise control.

My engine code (GC) refers to a 1969 L46 with K66 ignition and 4 speed. The GD version of the same engine refers to an L46 with K66 ignition, A/C and a 4 speed. I have had a difficult time finding any references to the GC engine suffix but, it is correct for my car.

Below is what I have on my '68. Everything matches my tank sticker except the aluminum heads, which may have been put on at the dealer as they were available over the counter.

What is odd is that it has the special suspension but not the special heavy duty brakes, and for being such a high performance build, why the vinyl hardtop and wheel covers? seems an odd combo...

1968 Options w/Quantities Produced and Prices
