Well, while that may demonstrate it is true for 1971 roadsters, it does not
prove it for all roadsters and GTs, 1962-80 (which is what I was
questioning). For instance, Clausager's book makes no mention of it, as far
as I could tell. But at this point it would be difficult to settle the
question... "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence"...
