He also thinks it is a 5/70 for some reason. 5/71 would be my guess. He admits some rust and other issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfa.series1 Posted April 16, 2018 Share #2 Posted April 16, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rturbo 930 Posted April 17, 2018 Share #5 Posted April 17, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Head Posted April 17, 2018 Share #6 Posted April 17, 2018 Could just be parts added later. I notice that there are no driver's side pictures. And missing bumpers. Might be some damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
