an_unusual_eye ◊ 2012-02-06 02:21	hmmm... good to know. thank you. is there a way to tell the original reg. year by the plate..? it was labeled as a 1976 model before i got to it ~ which it quite possibly could be. without being able to make out the wheels, it could be as old as a 1974 model unless something defined it specifically as a 1976. if it wears 4 spoke datsun alloy wheels, it would actually be 1976+ just as listed... i was just curious how the 1976 was determined in this case.

an_unusual_eye ◊ 2012-02-07 05:23	thanks... i was just curious. i'm going to say by the hint of the wheel that whoever it was got it right.
