Hi Douglas,

I agree with Michael as I now own #2163 which is a 10/71 production date car and is titled as a '72 model.  Coincidentally, mine was that same "medium green" and was color changed to red ..... just like yours :-)

I sold that car in 2013 on behalf of the owner in SC.
It lived in Hilton Head Island, SC for several years ( it was shown in the HHI Concours one year), then went to Jacksonville, FL.
I have lots of photos of the car taken in 2013.
While it may have 1971 on the title, I can assure you it is an early 1972 in every way possible and most certainly never saw the US until the late Spring or Summer of 1972.
If you are restoring it, I'd urge you to return it to Green. that particular shade is very cool.
