This looks to be a '74 LE Bumble Bee car:

You can still see the yellow paint on the rear valance under the black overspray ...

I believe once a car is a member of the salvage yard its title is a salvage title.

It has a 1.8L...if the engine is original, then its not an LE. The article is 6 weeks old and no real ID of the yard. Rats...

Are you sure about that? The sparkplugs seem to be in the 2.0L location.

Either way, no way of knowing if the engine is original to the car.

Just had a closer look and i think you're right, it looks to be a 1.8L ...

It has 1.7/1.8 HEs.

Half of the Monza muffler is in the front trunk.

Has rear swaybar and shock bolts with swaybar connecting balls.

Spark plug location? What about the oil filler, the air flow meter and air cleaner, and the breather plumbing ?

The Cap'n

I wonder if that air flow meter is any good?

All that can easily be switched from one motor to another.

My car came with such a mix-match of parts when i bought it and actually ran surprisingly well ...

Vin was outside of the LE range. VIN 4742917508. It was at Pick n Pull in Newark. The front seat from the car will now live on in my car. It was in perfect shape.
