The EMPI style wheels look really, really good on that car!

Nice pictures. I learned something, I thought only '70 had the white parking lights. I'm guessing now that the ambers came out in '72.

I'm not positive on this, but I think midway through the 71 production, they changed from white (or were they clear) bezels with amber bulbs, to amber bezels with clear light bulbs behind them. Because of this you will find some 71's that are different from each other

My early '71 came with clear lenses and post and speed nut grilles. Maybe they changed to amber lenses and screw on grilles at the same time?

Your car is beautiful OP, sorry for the hijack.
