Scott,
I have owned six (6) '74 TR-6's with commision numbers prior to CF27001.
All of them had front and rear over-riders. Two of these cars were low
mileage originals that had not been messed with. The change that took place
with CF27001 was the switch to '75-'76 style front bumper. ( I have one of
these, CF27991UO).
