>>>Ford rather arbitrarily drew the line when deciding which cars would be
considered what model years. The Ford parts book lays it out; 1971 cars
were those built before 2293, with 2293-4839 being considered 1972 cars.
I suspect this car actually is #2206, and the engine number is something
different. It will be interesting to find out?
