Up to 73?

Posted by: Bleyseng Sep 8 2003, 09:01 PM

All the 73's I have seen came with the sound pad. Maybe they added them in 72? I don't know. Anybody?

I've seen one 72 with a pad. I don't know if it got added in or if it came with the car...

They're getting pretty old now and tend to fall apart...

My 72 does not have one, but it's a repaint so hard to say.

My '71 has no backpad and has that sticker in the same spot on the firewall.
