Reply to "Austin TX 74 car on eBay"

chuckmeltonMember

This car is in the Registry.

I've communicated with the owner also.

Al Johnson has had this car for many years.
6853 is a VIN in the date range of 12/73 to 1/74, but it is listed as a 8/74.

Other info, like the ZF number also suits an earlier car range.

The dash is the version like my 11/72.

Although the new dash begain around 1/73, there is a handful of cars in April 73 with the early dashes (some are in the Registry also).

This may be the latest VIN with the early dash. Hey DeTomaso didn't throw away useable parts!

It does not have the gill fuel filler door.

So it is a car that has mixed early and late features, and I strongly believe it came from the factory this way.

I'd love to inspect in person, to better document an unusual car. Anyone car to drive it from Houston to San Jose?
