In other words, folks, don't trust anything from a stranger on the Internet.

AKA Alvin has a hard-on for me and will do his due diligence to try to discredit me.

It's quite amusing. However, New Jerseyan in me has other ways of characterizing it.

Anyway, gonna try to compile some more right now.....

Thanks for the info. I see that my police car is one of 4606. They were available in D29 and D37bodystyles.

Oh, and don't feed the trolls...

Simple request for verification of the accuracy of numbers presented. Based on past information posted on this and other threads.

Such as:

Even if the number is not correct, I think it's a reasonable estimate.

Like you I have done research and sometimes I'll have a number on a certain car but theres another soure that says differant,so I put a question mark and note by the number. I'm quite surprised to see that you said a reasonable estimate?? No disrespect Diego...but your into facts and accuracy. This post just surprised me thats all. You have a good evening.

1973 and 1974 actually. I understand if one were to tally up all the non-performance engines and body styles, it would be more work. I am patient though and appreciate the info to date.

The ultimate goal would be to make a table for 73-77 A bodies showing:

year, model (body style), engine, transmission

I suppose transmission by body style would be estimated in some cases.

I wonder why no numbers are showing for certain models like the wagons.
