This is why I, and others have reccomended doing anything you can to complete the car, or fix small issues.
Very few cars from this time period have survived with their "as built" drivetrain in tact;
Heck, I had my transmission replaced under warranty on my 'wrong wheel drive' daily driver - so not even that car is numbers any more...
I was more concerned with getting a "free" transmission when mine started showing issues, while my powertrain warranty was in effect - and I'm pretty sure that's the way people looked at these cars in the early 1970's.

That ad says nothing about #'s or date coding though. It could be, but I think an owner who is into that stuff would put it in the ad. Now, if it is a survivor, then yes, I would agree to the difference in valuation. If it's a NOM motor and/or trans, I would still question the large difference based soley on the AC, color and tilt wheel.
I have been thinking of hooking my AC back up and charging it, but it seems unlikely it would be that simple.
