No, 1974 had the "bosses" for them, but no bleeders. '73 was the last year for that.

Looks like it retains the rare as hen's teeth A 348 C square mesh air filter. Wonder if it has the original oil filter & battery(even though it'd be toast).

As others have posted about various items, it looks like a few things have been changed. I wonder about the engine pad. I thought they were still masked off from being painted in '75? Maybe not?

Another interesting thing is this particular car's VIN # of 35111. Well, the real LAST '75 roadster's VIN# was 35199, just a mere 88 cars in behind it. My old '75's VIN# was 35026.

Still, it's a neat car, I'd love to have it.

Some dealers just threw a dealer plate on cars and drove them , I doubt this car is worth 70k with replacement mufflers and tires someone could have disconnected the speedo and drove enough to show wear on the tires or if the tires were dry rotted keep them just to show they were not worn out .

The ebay ad shows a few other white rubber bumper cars apparently from the same owner - he must have really liked white rubber bumper cars.

Well, all three say "from a private collection", so maybe all three are from the White Rubber Bumper Corvette Collection"???
