I'd like power door locks. Do the later C3s have power door locks?
Thanks

Hi zakspop;
Can't help you with the amazon locks, but starting n 1978 power door locks were an option #AU3.

I wonder how hard it would be to retrofit 78 and later power locks into a 69. Anyone done this?

I suspect that by the time you purchased everything you needed, at best it would be a wash. The later models with power door locks integrated the wiring into the cars harness. I would however utilize the power door lock switch so it looks as if the factory installed them.

I believe that I was reading a C3 thread here on the Forum the other day where someone actually was incorporating power door locks on their restoration of an earlier Corvette. If you do a search, you may find it.

Good luck... GUSTO
