Commander 57 ◊ 2011-12-02 15:14	Well, it appears to be in the '70 to '72 range. Can someone else narrow it down? I do not have my sources.

Commander 57 ◊ 2011-12-02 22:46	I had left '73 out because the car does not appear to have an energy-absorbing front bumper.
somename ◊ 2011-12-03 00:34	Really? You can determine that is not the 73 bumber from this picture? Impressive. Shall we list it as a 72 then? -- Last edit: 2011-12-03 01:05:06
Commander 57 ◊ 2011-12-03 03:50	Well, it just looked as if the bumper didn't stand away enough from the front but admittedly it is hard to tell for certain. Will go ahead and accept as a '72 pending any dissent or a better photo. -- Last edit: 2011-12-03 03:50:47
