Took the Vette out today, and when going slow (less than 10 MPH) the back end sways back and forth quite noticeable. A quick check and the tires are inflated, the wheels seem to be tight. I need to jack up the back end and turn the wheels to see if there is any strange movement, or like a bubble on the tires, but in the meantime, anyone have any ideas on what this could be?
Once up to speed, there is no noticeable movement or vibration.

Vette(s): 1972 conv, 4-speed, 350, 200hp, numbers match, rally wheels, war bonnett yellow w/white top. good condition, nice driver.
I can advise checking the trailing arm bushings.

First drive of the season? Rear tire pressure ok? Did the movement go away after a bit or come back again after slowing down? If it went away could just have been flat spots on the tires from sitting since the last drive.

It was the first drive in quite a while. I drove about 20 miles, and whenever I slowed to less than about 10 MPH the sway was there.
I'll have to get my ambition up to get a closer look at things. Thanks for all the suggestions.
