It looks like a 1973. After the facelift before the new rear end. |

The license plate is designed after a Virginia plate first issued in 1975 to celebrate the 1976 Bicentennial. However, it's a fake since the actual plates had the format 123-456. I think the Corvette is 1970-1972 based on the bumpers and the side vents. -- Last edit: 2010-06-22 19:49:44 |

Agree. Enough views to leave little doubt it's in the '70 to '72 range. |

1971. Amber parking lens on front is late '71-72. The rear view show NO alarm system which was optional is '71 and became standard in '72. This is late production 1971. |

I noticed the parking lamps, but with the bulbs burning, you can't really tell. Are the lenses amber or is the bulb itself amber? |

Commander57 ,I had same thoughts. There is another reference to a Cutlass that shows the amber lens more clearly. |

OK, thanks. Will leave as '71 on that basis. |

This beautiful car now resides in Seattle. You should update as a 1972 not 1971. |

Beautiful car regardless. A '72 should have the standard anti-theft alarm activation switch in the rear center. Without actually seeing the VIN it would be a 1971. There may have been an alarm delete option for '72 but I am not aware of it? |

VIN is 1Z37K2S502552. Sixth position is a 2 so it is a 72. I will have to check to see if the key lock hole for the ant theft has been filled in. It was early production so maybe that was the issue. |
