I am far from the expert but it is not stock; mirrored after a Baldwin Motion car; but I assume you could not be that lucky. The nose was usually customized also.

Vette(s): White '79 Corvette. It's a driver.
Does one of our members here have a rear window something like that?
 
I thought I saw one on a black C3, possibly from the H.S. photos.
 
Real nice to look at, IMO.

I've also seen something like that before... it's a 64-67 rear window molded into a C3 style body.

Looks to me like someone took a 72 t-top and put on the rear window section from a mid-60s coupe.   I don't know of any special edition vettes in 72 with anything like that.

I hadn't noticed wraith's picture before, but it does look very much like it.

Bill's car was like this when he bought it, if I remember correctly. He has installed a late model LT1 engine in it. It's a neat looking car...unlike the one in the ad above...that car looks like a real turd!

Condition-wise, I'm not sure if its even a parts-car, but I wasn't going to say anything in case its owner was a member on here.  I was just curious about the grafted window.
