Thank you very much for taking the time to replay to my question. Now ,if we add PS , PB , A/C , Tilt/telescope wheel, and Am/Fm stereo radio what do we come up with ? I have the Aux. Hardtop covered in black vinyl. I know they only made 367 of those.

Probably less than one of one, like my car and most other Corvettes. Playing a simplistic version of the 'percentage game' will always make cars look incredibly rare, with no substantiation behind it.

I also need urethane rear bumper covers....another one year fortune item. know of any? I want to replace the glass "seam" repro. I don't think I want the two piece flex repro. It's 500. Might be worth it to spring for nos urethane if I could find em. missed a stored nos set on ebay last month! 1200.

....don't even think about buying an NOS '74 rear bumper, even IF you're lucky enough to find one. You'd be buying an "aged" part, pay hundreds of dollars to have it prepped, painted & installed only to watch it crack and disintgrate like an original a few years down the road, if not sooner.

...I installed the Eckler's 1974 TrueFlex two piece bumper and it is the "most" correct, contoured replacement rear bumper for a '74. I looked at virtually everyone available and went with the Eckler's. I put it on my 5 Star Bowtie/2 time Bloomington Gold Survivor 1974 Corvette and it came out fantastic. Very, very few people have even caught that it was a replacement bumper.
