Hi Bill,
Yup, Dick had an imagination back then.
The car was tastefully done IMHO and had a crowd around it all the time.
The FI on top of that engine was wicked. I almost lost it a few times.
From the front grills, I don’t recall ‘72 amber lenses so I think they were 70-71 lens.
It doesn’t seem to have ‘68 doors with the push button.
I see pockets on the RH side of dash.
People including me loved the slanted shark vents on the fenders.
I recall Dick saying they were a bitch to make.
I must have installed an intake and carb for the sale as I brought the FI unit along with a mint Real Teak Wood steering wheel when I moved to the west coast in ‘78.
I sold the FI soon after settling in the SF Bay Area as I needed money.
I still have the Teak wheel.
