He also thinks it is a 5/70 for some reason. 5/71 would be my guess. He admits some rust and other issues.

April 16, 20186 yr comment_547492 Lots of clues that it is a Series 1 car: sail panel, hatch, steering wheel. That would tend to rule out a 5/71 build date. Too bad he did not list the VIN he referred to.

Too bad he did not list the VIN he referred to. Perhaps a transition car Jim, or one that has had some changes along the way. Not enough detail pic's in the ad. It would be nice to get the VIN. I saw the spilt carpet in back, later tool compartments? later carpet? The dash looks to have a 73 hazard switch, with the lighter above? The whole ad seems strange.

April 17, 20186 yr comment_547512 What was the cut off for 2400 valve cover? I wouldn't doubt it has a 5/70 build date. It's clearly a series one car, so not a 5/71 build date.

April 17, 20186 yr comment_547515 Could just be parts added later. I notice that there are no driver's side pictures. And missing bumpers. Might be some damage.
