    Not sure if this is a 1970 or 1971. It was an automatic with a V8. Would like to date it and try to locate one.
    Thanks!

    It was special ordered from Ford and silver stripes on the sides and hood were an option. Thanks everyone for verifying it a 1971!

    I believe 1970 only had a six cylinder engine, if it's the original engine.

    1970's only had six cylinders from the factory. If it has a v8 that has not been added by a former owner it is a 71.
