Yes Terry. I printed it off a while ago. Most of the discussion seems to suggest August/Sept 1970 and the bluebird body number is consistent with this time frame. I've had a few 1600's (5 previous cars, and 4 between Luke and I currently) including 67/8 and later ones. All have had build dates that fitted with the Bluebird body number/dates list, so I think its pretty right. The only one I have a doubt about is my current 1600SSS. The previous owner says he thinks it is a '71, but its original owner thought it was purchased in '70 model. The Bluebird list agrees with the previous owner - '71.
