1st post. (I hope not to embarrass myself)
I am looking for my first Corvette. I really like the C2, but my wallet can only afford a C3. So, I chose the 68-73 due to body style.
I see several 73's but I would like the pop out window. Where can I find the conversion kit to make a 73 window removable?
I have done a search here and came up empty. The cost will determine whether I refine my search to stop at 1972.
Thanks Everyone !

I love being able to take off the T's and pop out the back window...All the advantages of a vert, without the hassles. If I had a 73-77, I would definately spring for the parts to convert.

the storage tray is not needed. The tray differs from year to year.
The cost of the window, latches, w/s, trim panels is about $250. Will take most of a day to install the rear window. The tray cost is $100 - $250 based on the condition and type. I got my parts from ebay. Most Corvette salavage dealers have the parts, but prices will be higher.
