My 73 02 (2587903) rolled off the assembly line January 26, 1973. The same day that The Paris Peace Accords were signed ending the Vietnam war, Edward G Robinson died and 20 days after my 13th birthday. It was a Friday. I believe that old adage, never buy a car built on a Monday or Friday, only applies to American cars. It was sold to its first owner on March 26 1973 at Bavarian Auto Sales in Woodside Queens, NY.
Happy to report that it is still going strong and will receive 14” steelies and a 5 speed transplant this spring.
Long may you run.
