Weird. I think mine is 4/73 and it doesn't have them. But then again, I'm not positive they're the original doors, though the Olympic blue paint seems to suggest they are.

But then again, I'm not positive they're the original doors, though the Olympic blue paint seems to suggest they are. Is that the actual built date from the Karman plate or from the door jamb sticker? The sticker is *not* the actual real build date of the chassis. It's the date when the car was "federalized" for US import. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
