The VIN comes up as a 1971 model year. Is that possible?

Looks like a sweet ride from the photos

the factory would call it a "1971" car. US tii production began in Sept 1971, but they were all titled in the US as 1972 cars. So the first 1200 or so (of 2629) model year 1972 US tii's were actually assembled in calendar year 1971. That's the disconnect.

something to consider, i have 2760403 built on 12/30/71 and 2760440 built on 1/3/72 according to BMW archives.

both colorado, one with S/R, one w/o. both with the newer inertia seat belts and newer heater control trim plates (no red/blue dots/triangle).

i'm wondering if these earliest tii's had the 'fasten seat belt' sign? mine did.

i prefer the older spaghetti seatbelts and earlier heater control plates on those very low VIN tii's.
