Neat find. I just found this on the Hemmings site for sale out of a Michigan dealer. The ad says it has original paint and only 10,564 original miles. They have updated the tires to radials and it is rolling on some Rally IIs.
What a survivor. It certainly looks like there's not really been any touch ups, at least undercarriage and under the hood. But what a limited market...

Surprise it's GREEN! what is it with survivors and green? not that I have anything against green.
As an old car friend used to say when ever seeing a low mileage survivor, " Man that guy must have really hated that car not to drive it"
Didn't some of these cars have vents in the panel between the back window and the trunk.
I seem to remember that. Maybe that was only cars with air cond.
Jonno, vent panels on the trunk lid were 1971 only. They had a bunch of louvers to start, then reduced the number of louvers mid-year due to water leakage. They ditched them completely for '72. They relied on the door jamb vents alone from then on.

That radio delete plate looks suspiciously like the one in my 70 Parisienne. Mine has the slanted right hand side as the cluster surround has a slant to it, and the plate in the 73 also has the slant, but it's cluster surround doesn't.
that delete plate "just doesn't fit" the rest of dash [ black on green] IMOP
It looks ugly.
