Here is another worm.
DeTomaso had a chassis left over after he bought the company from Ford. He continued building cars after 1974 even though they were not shipped to the USA. Many car parts had serial numbers but were not built unil 1975, 76, 77, and on and on. Do we go back and call all these cars by the year the pedal box was stamped? If so we have a lot of back dating to do.
In fact I am sure a whole group of 71's could be called 70's, a whole groups of 72's could be called 71's, and so.
