Panteraseeker .. that car was a 78 .. mine 9138 is a 79. There were figures posted here if I can find it that 9000 on was manufactured by EMBO and the frame and engine compart appear more boxy in there fabrication then the traditional stamped steel. mine seems to have less rust then my 73.
There was a real nice car on EBAY in WALDWICK NJ forgot the price though.
