The 74 has the two peice bumper, however, I think it's better looking because I don't like those stupid PADS on the bottom of the 75 and up. 77 was the last year of a flat rear window, and 76 was the last year of the STINGRAY designation. 68 and 77 were the only flat rear window cars with no Stingray emblem. ALso, in 73, the "hybrid" the alarm key thing was moved to the front fender. At least I think it was 73. May have been 72.
Those are some differeinces.
My 74 was silver. In the first picture the color looked silver. It had a silver leather interior, which was pretty cool. I miss that car.

Hope this helps with your decision. Bill

Maybe I am losing it, but I never noticed them when looking to purchase the car. Only after I started waxing the car that they became obvious to me. Don't mind the look with my red; nice transition from the tires to the body. Obviously, they were put on the car after the rocker panel had been sand blasted!!!

I'm pretty sure Mid America has them. I had them on my car when I bought it, but I managed to score a brand new set right here on the forum.

mudflaps on a vette are just...ick..
They indicate to me that you may intend to drive your corvette around in dirt and crap, which is wrong. wrong wrong wrong. Please do NOT off-road your vette. that's not what they are for.
my opinion obviously
On another note, I know there is this clear stuff that goes on like a vinyl graphic that will keep the paint chip-free...my buddy installs it on a lot of peoples front ends and mirrors, but it'd definately work for keeping the burnt rubber off your rockerpanels.
