There are few other details that make me think the car was put back together;
standard interior with deluxe dash and deluxe inside door handles.

Could someone post a picture of how the hump should look?

Here you go, these are of my 70. To me, the car in the ad that was converted from an auto looks like it does not have a hump. Maybe they just cut a hole in the floor and screwed the boot and bezel to the floor since it does not appear "flat", but rather looks like it follows the contour of the floor pan.

Thanks! That tells me tat the current ebay car needs attention to detail that is lacking.

Like Giles, I'm seeing more & more that makes me think this TA is not quite worth the asking price. Has anyone noticed the '73 dash plate? As an April built Van Nuys TA, it should have a plate with the seperate "lights" & "wiper" indicators. Perhaps this car has an older Service Replacement plate.
Still, it would be a fun driver even though it's fairly plain. But not for my $38K. Maybe high $20's?
Wonder if it has an M22 or something more easily obtainable?
And someone mentioned the later, smaller (& higher) clutch pedal. When did this start? '75?

Smaller clutch pedal was new for 73,as I recall.

In my observation ALL 70-71 standard interior birds came with unplated (non-chrome) pot metal inside door releases.

1972 standard trim got the chrome versions.
Pretty easy part to switch out,just like adding the stainless (shiny) pedal trim.

Are you refering to the trim around the CHROME handle? I think that all the handles were the same, the standard got black plastic trim and the custom got?
