Pretend for a moment that everything else about the cars was equivalent, body condition under the paint etc. etc.
1.7 L single carb on the '71 versus 1.8 L single carb on the '75 (yes the single car thing would have to be addressed on both) Are the earlier cars considered, broadly, more desirable than a later one? Obviously the bumpers or the big difference but are there other considerations that drive desirability between those model years? Thanks again for all of the help and education that you've provided, very much appreciate it. |

Depends. Building another autox car or track car I'd go early. In my world a trans swap is no biggie. I personally favor the chrome bumpers. A 1.7 won't be fast, but a 1.8 will be slow. (Sorry 1.8 owners). Fun street run about- the 1.8. The better latches, trans are nice to have, and with the top off on a sunny day either motor will get you to the Dairy Queen or beach equally well.
