5. The pictured car is a 1973. The 1972 and 73 are similar except for the big federal bumper.

The 1972 fishmouth, like in the Clint Eastwood movie:

1973 was the last year for the 4 speed option. 1974 saw a federal bumper on the rear and the loss of the Sportsroof option. The original Starskey & Hutch pilot episode car was a 1974. 1974 was also the last year for the Q code 351 Cobra Jet option.

The black & gold TAs are bringing big dollars these days.
