Actually the box says 1970 in the lower corner of the box.This means that it
was either an early 71 (built in 70) or somebody screwed up. It has a
combination of both 70 and 71 features (I know because I have both a 70 and a 71
here). The dash looks just like my wife's 70 along with the brake reservoir, and
the front fresh air vents, but It also has the 71's fresh air exits in the rear,
and the 71 and later wiper arm postions. It does however look very cool.
