Ingo ◊ 2013-03-25 09:02	Although I'm not sure, I'd agree with a 1974 GT

tore-40 ◊ 2013-03-25 15:17	I agree that a GXL would have had a large chrome striping across the rear panel that this one does not have, thus this is a GT. I fail however to see why this is a 1974 onwards and not a 1971-72?
Ingo ◊ 2013-03-25 15:25	Becuse the grille looks somehow 1974-plastic-ish. O.k.,our bad, so it's a brand new 1971 Coupé GT. -- Last edit: 2013-03-25 15:26:44
