I agree with your guesses Jack. Accept the 28 inch radiator will be 26 inches.

Although this car has the sport hood it is not a ralley as the 73-74 Rallye package code (A57 was it Jack?) is missing.

Thanks guys for helping me out. Being that it has the sport hood but not a rallye package, is that rare? Just wondering. well im trying to get a title for it because the guy picked it up while doing a forcolsure on a house. Anyone know of any good places to get a title?Thanks again
Nick

It is not rare. That production date might be B23 = November 23rd.

No it's deffiently August 23, 1972 . It even says it on the door sticker.
