late model notch

[TOASTEDT3@aol.com]

Hi.  My name is Katie and a while ago my boyfriend Matt wrote in and told the
list about my 71 squareback that was in a wreck that broke my nose...you can
see pics of the car as it looked before the wreck and as it looks now at

Anyway, today we went to the Classic (a first time experience for both of us)
and found a 72 notch for sale for a VERY reasonable price.  I was wondering
how many of these there are in the U.S.  A friend of mine used to have a 70
notch and he was always talking about how rare late model notchbacks are, and
I know that I have seen A LOT more early models than late models out there,
but exactly what is the status on them?  Super rare?  Kinda rare?  Not rare at
all?  :)  I'm mainly interested in the number of them in the U.S., but anyone
who owns one anywhere in the world and has any info, please help me.  

Thanks in advance  :)
