    Your car was actually produced on January 14, 1971--On schedule.

    Only ordered a basic report, just to make sure my car was a real GT.. Guess I'll have to order an elite now, I at least have to find out number data etc on it.. I mean, green vinyl roof? :D Don't believe too many people wanted that on their car :p
    And, what's "Visibility group" ?

    Cool!

    Does your car still have the original interior?
    If so, can you post pics?

    Thanks,

    The "Visibility Group" could mean under hood light, luggage compartment light, under dash light, ash tray light or it could be lefthand remote mirror or all of the above

    It does, but the seats have been re-covered in slick, black cloth and the rest of the interior has been spraypainted black (starting to come off a little on the seatbacks).
    Would look kinda cool all original I guess, all Green and gold :D

    I would say the lights, my 74 has the "Light Visibility Group" and it has all those lights, and my 73 doesn't have any, but they both have the mirrors.

    Yeah, I'm not really sure if it has any of those ATM..
    Does anybody happen to have a pic of a Mav or Comet with a green vinyl top? Got kinda curious of how it looks..
