Have you checked out VIN’s close to your car’s in the forum’s Registry? Have you checked manufacturing dates on some of the many dated components, e.g., engine block, head, trans, diff, rims, instruments, lights? Are your front seat headrest supports 10mm or 12mm in diameter — the switchover occurred in late January 1973, with VIN 2763352?
Regards,
Steve
Thanks for the reply to my first post! Appreciate the info and resources - I’ll check out everything mentioned. As for the headrest… I need to get them to break free to be able to measure diameter. 🙂- 1

I can confirm if you put your vin # into realoem.com it will tell you the correct production month of your car.
I'm just getting going and learning how to find info in here... when I enter my VIN into realoem I get a South African E32, not my '73 tii. The key is that it only works for 74 and newer.
I'd love to find those VIN charts.

I didn't see an official introduction sticky thread for new folks... so I'll lean in and say hello.
First month of ownership of a '73 tii... I grew up in an agave '72, oh the feelings - but this is my first time allowed in the front seat! I met a great group of local Florida CCA folks at coffee Saturday morning; the friendly interest in my new ride was wonderful.
Started my punchlist! Learning... plan to drive more than polish so I'm not too concerned that I need a round washfluid jug or missing a test port cap although no part number seems to exist. I just read the FAQ article about my blue coil with the external resistor regarding how my pertronix might get fried, that sounds like it makes the list to determine if I'm bypassed first. For now I'll hunt for a headlight relay DIY article since it feels like I'm currently illuminating the road with a Zippo - seems like I have to learn FAQ search methodology a bit. I haven't found the holy grail post with all the "good" DIYs centralized, or a "getting started" thread of what to look for - maybe a buyers guide will suffice.
Glad to be here and hope to find some answers... or at least learn enough to generate some good questions. Maybe I'll just fill 'er up, head to The Vintage, and see how it goes over 700 miles - adventure feels lost these days. Besides, I've read 2/3rds of "Ran When Parked" and just made the acquaintance of Mr. Mike Self. I feel like I'm set...
Best,
Jeff
