Default Rear Window

Hey guy's riddle me this! I have a 1973 Z07 Big Block. All the books I read and info I can find say's 1973 Did Not have a removable rear window but mind does. I have checked every thing and my car is a 73(I'm 3rd owner). Do I have a special car or are a lot of books wrong?? Thanks Mike

The removable rear window was not a 73 option.
But some have been converted. It is a bolt in swap.
Be happy you have it. It is easy to convert back.
I have one and love it.

Thanks Terry, I do like it but it sure looks factory. A couple other Vette guys I know said it looked so good they thought my car was a 72. But it will stay in!! Mike

It just has the necessary earlier vintage parts to make the window removable. A very nice touch to counteract the cost-cutting 'mistake' made by GM in '73.
