Corvette fans only question?

Hey guys what year do you believe this custom vette is?

1978 was the first year for the bubble-back glass so it can’t be that and 1974 was the first year for body color bumpers at both ends. So this car is between 1974-77.

Wow that’s a tough one. If I had to guess it’s a ’76. You’re correct that it’s almost defiantly a ’74-’77. Even though the rear bumper is aftermarket this car has the one piece rear emblem used from ’76-’79. The ’74 & ’75 still had the individual letters on the rear bumper. That rear bumper has been sold through Ecklers for years. It’s still available actually. It also has the “Stingray” emblems on the front fender. That was changed to the crossed flags emblem in ’77. Like Can Am said, it could be a Frankenstein, but based on the emblems currently on the car the only year with that particular combination was ’76.
