	Couple of thoughts here--the major body style change came in 1970,
but dual port/fuel injection came several years before this, as did the
change to 12V.  This makes '67-'69 particularly attractive to me.  But hey,
they're all cool. ;)

	Also... no alternators on U.S. Type IIIs!  To the best of my
knowledge, Brazillian Type IIIs were sold stock with alternators (check the
SP2/KGTC shots on the T3 web pages), but not T3s sold in the U.S.
