Hiyo;

C50 here. Mine is also a radio-delete, non-power steering car. Odd combination.

I don't have that option. However, I do have a 73 LS4 4spd that has zero options. How many cars are like that ???

Mine doesn't. The only odd options on my car are the stroked 385, the 700R4, the 1986 Flame Red paint, oh you mean factory installed options.

No rear defroster here. No power brakes either. Radio delete too. And blackwalls. Who the heck ordered this thing!? Oh well, I still love it.

Neither of mine have the rear defroster. By the way, the defroster was also available on the convertible so that would be only 4,412 of the total 30,464 built had the rear window defroster.

Have you switched to the removable rear window in your 73? I'm trying to find all parts to do that to mine. I have alot of the factory options but with the small engine. that sucks. I'm looking for any info on changing that back window that I can get. Help
