Your best hope is to begin the paper trail documenting your '71 with the previous owner and trace backwards. You might try contacting the Florida DMV to see whether you can get a title search.

Fender trim should be body color.

Trim tag on the driver's hinge post will list her Time/Build date in the upper right corner. At the least, you will know her birthday.

My fiancee's '71 convertible is Brands Hatch green with tan leather and a tan top. Beautiful combination.

Think about joining the NCRS. You can then put an INFORMATION WANTED advertisement in their DRIVELINE, which is a classified ad publication.
Did you know there's a NCRS Chapter in the Netherlands?
