Three horns???
In order to troubleshoot my horns, I disconnected the wires from the duals that are mounted just under/behind the front license plate area ('74). I went back to the horn button and started to disassemble when all of a sudden "HONK"... 
I climbed underneath and double-checked...all wires were disconnected.
Went back to the horn button and "HONK"...
WTF?!?
I went back to the front end and, looking down thru the open hood, where all the headlight vacuum stuff is, found a THIRD horn tucked just underneath the front facia. This is definitely a factory horn as the connector was part of the wiring loom and the horn/mount looked like GM.
Does anyone else have three horns? Does this make my car rare?

Here is what I found for 1974:
U05 (option code) $4
Dual Horns
5,258 (number sold)
Don't know about alarm for that year....except seen somewhere the alarm "activator" was relocated....?????
Edit:One horn is a "high" note,and the other is a "low" note.

My '76 has two up front and the alarm horn is behind the driver, under the fender well. :o Maybe mine is rare too!

Just dawned on me what was meant by "alarm activator" relocated" in 1974.
Also,when my horn quit working,it was the relay on the fuse panel.
