I've got one in my 78. It's installed, but I haven't had time to install belts and a video camera yet. Dan does an excellent job on these.

The hoops design will look very similar to the aftermarket seat hoops in C5 Vettes. The Shark Bar Series 3 ’68-’75 will be available within 2 weeks.
Speed direct will be offering a group purchase very soon.

Does the shark bar offer any rigidity to the car? I don't know what it mounts to and was wondering if it had the same effect on the rear as a spreader bar has in the front.

All the Shark Bars tie into the sub-frame, which will increase the rigidity of the sub-frame of the Corvette. We had many comments about reduced t-top squeaks and rattles.

The Shark Bar Series 1 will fit nicely into a '74 Vette.
