Here is what you need for a (relatively) simple conversion to 5 lug. Very low miles on the kit, all you need to make it work is new bearings front and rear (us your choice of wheels)

Super heavy, so best choice is pickup/delivery in the SF Bay Area or Central Valley, or could work something out for LA area.

Those rotors only fit early struts and calipers that were mid 72 and earlier. It it was on a 73 the struts calipers and rotors must have been swapped or it would not fit.

Well now you've piqued my curiosity. I replaced these parts with brand new 73 and up 4 lug rotors and bearings, then put original fuchs on it, no other parts, and had no problems. What would I look for to see if earlier struts were installed? Seems unlikely, it is a 36k original mile, original paint, interior etc, never any damage to the front car.

I have the answer.
The rotors are late hub centric with the ring machined off.
That is need to fit 5 bolt wheels.
The calipers on your car are late calipers base on the line bolts directly into the caliper with no banjo fitting. The rotors and struts would need to be late also to fit together.
If they were early struts they would be the pinch bolt type with a bolt with a 17 mm head through the bottom of the strut to attach it to the ball joint.
So the front rotors are for a late cars and will not fit a mid 72 or earlier.
Very nice car by the way.
Good luck with the sale.

Sadly, that picture is BEFORE I cleaned it up when I had the wheels off to swap the rotors... I say sadly as I realize I may be going crazy.
