Hey Gang,
My car is an early 74. that is that it is an early 74.  One of the
earilist I have ever seen, (cf12525u Aug,73) making it the 25th or so
car produced with the updates from the seventy-three model cars.  My car
is not that much different than any other late car (74-76) which I have
seen.  My car is a low millage car with over riders. Except for the
turning indicators in the front, it looks like any other late car I have
seen.  It's Carmine Red with New Tan interior.  There is a fellow in
Tennassee who has a car fifty one cars after mine and his car is Carmine
Red with red interior as well.
