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... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
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.
