Its a 1975.

I had contacted the seller to ask some questions about the car to see if it might be a decent buy, and mentioned it is not a '73 as listed. 2370486 should be a '76 I believe, made in late '75. The seller thanked me for the info, said he would update the auction, but never did. The rear bumper is visible in the pics, definitely a '74+ car.

 

Just noticed...finally added a note saying it's a '76.

Yes: victory!

 

It’s an early 1976, manufactured September 1975.

 

Below, from RealOEM.com (provides month and year of manufacture for 1974 and later ‘02’s).

Since the car has no fuel injection, has a blank-off plate for a mechanical fuel pump, and was mis-identified as a ‘73, I’d both (a.) question whether there is, indeed, a “tii engine block” in there, and (b.) wonder if any value was added by a tii block, if one is present!

I was looking over the pics of this car carefully, questioning the paint scheme obviously, but overall the car didn't look too bad (for the right $$$). Then noticed that while they deleted the side marker on the driver side front fender, they left the side marker on the pass side. If you're going  through the trouble to repaint the car, why would you do this? Definitely brings into question some of the questions on the tii engine block as well. Only a couple of hours to go and up to $7700, let's see how high it goes.
