Model year 1971 (starting in August 1970) saw the introduction of the twin-port engine and the second pair of cooling vents on the engine cover. I believe 1969 and 1970 models had 2 sets of vents, while 1968 models had no vents.Tony Z wrote: Fri Jul 31, 2020 2:53 am If it is a 71, you should also have a engine lid with two sets of vent holes, not 4 sets like the later models. Only 71s has the two sets

People had different perceptions about that colour since back in the day.
You could start a fight on a school playground about that colour. I still remember the shouting: "that car is green!" "it's not green, that car is definitely yellow!"
The shouting would attract a bigger crowd, and everybody had his own serious perception/opinion on that colour.
