Spent a lot of time at NE Gathering looking at various cars' details and discovered this slot on the underside of the frunk, on the passenger side. Any clue as to what it might be/have been for? Maybe the production status ticket during production? Have had the car since 1974 and never noticed it before (but then in those years I wasn't aware of MANY things)!
Knowledge, clues and wise-cracker answers welcome.

Full Version: Vot es dis?
maybe provides a slight amount of flex so that when you shut the lid with the gas cap sitting on top of the expansion tank it doesn't immediately destroy the hood?
It doesn’t seem to add any space. It’s more of a cutout pocket. Anyone have this? Unique to ‘74? 
My 72' has the same notch. Maybe they were going to do something like the 914-8 and changed it last minute to save cost.

That notch is part of the originally planned fuel filler door that was cut from production.
