That's what I had read too. I see a few posts up that maybe that is not true...

Not the answer I have written down. My answer is earlier than that and I believe it to be accurate.

Yes they did do it that way ,the way they measure it has been changed more than once over the years.


Ok, most likely when I did this long ago that was true. Thanks for correcting it. When I was bracket racing that was around 1975-1978.

True, although they were different body styles. That would be correct as well, but I guess that means there is another major component that is the same, virtually.

Hmm, I have white, blue, black and red.

Saw a blue one at POCI one year with red interior. Sure looks different.

Ivory is basically equivalent to a dirty white.  Remember, there were two types of interior available, the standard and the custom.  Red was available on the 73-74 cars.

I will check my video. I am pretty sure I have the video of the 72 with red guts. You are saying no red in 72?
