$30 for side glass IS dirt cheap. Worth having if for no reason other than to have a spare in case one gets damaged.
NCRS Judging Guide states that the LATE production '74's used glass(non-Astro) made for the '75 year model, but it says that they had only "observed" it on Sept/Oct built cars. Mine sat on the assy line during a strike until Sept, so....draw yer own conclusions.

Vette(s): Silver 1974 Convertible - L82 4 speed
Low miles (was only 8,900 when I bought it in March 2006) - Now 54K miles. Original owner bought it as an investment for son's college expenses.

Just got the reply from the seller. The code on the windows is YJ, meaning they were manufactured in October of 78 - not exactly correct for a 74.
Dang. Still a great price if anyone's interested. Here are the links:
Happy bidding!
I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

YA..it's a fiar deal fer sher. They'll work fine up to '80, I think. The '81-'82 cars had thinner glass, if I remembers kerectly.

They should. I'm fairly certain the glass is the same from '70-'80. The '68-9 cars may be different...not really sure on that. AFAIK, there were no changes to the side glass from '70-'80.
