All non-U.S. Mangustas for all years were four headlight cars; only the U.S. destined 1970-71 cars got single headlights and maybe not all of them. Don't know what the fender & grille differences were (if any) for the two styles.
I was chatting with a guy from PIM and was surprised to find out they converted several cars from 4 head light to 2 head light. Pretty much the opposite of what I would expect to do for value. This was prior to the current elevated price levels. Not certain how many cars were converted but he did mention that it was more than just one. Funny decision since the original design never called for pop-ups. My understanding is that US DOT mandated a minimum height for headlights, and the pop-ups were an easy way to comply without completely redesigning the front end. Fast forward to today where pop-ups are strictly banned in the name of pedestrian safety. Lame.
