    Vent wings on a 71 coupe

    I noticed open vent windows in the doors of this car on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MEWA:IT&ih=014

    I thought that the opening vent wings on coupes ended in 69. Is this correct?

    I have a 73 Targa, and I had 67, 72 and 73 coupes (at different times). This is probably why I noticed. The vent wings are great on a hot day. Nice backdate on the 71, I'd say.

    I’ve been adding wind wings, vents to my 1971. They are mostly 68 parts, with a 67 locking lever.
    It takes a while to find the parts, and the price is high, I think it’ll add to comfort.
    I found many smaller parts in Germany, that were no longer available in USA.
    I got the glass and some other small parts from a helpful registry member.

    I’m currently replacing my roll up window, and waiting for the new glass to arrive.

    Seems like an opportunity for someone to make a high quality wind wings kit for LWB coupe’s. I would love them on my ‘72 coupe.
