The reason for the question is the factory production numbers. It shows 1000 built in OCT 74 and 210 in Nov 74 for a total of 1210.
It also shows 600 built in Oct 75 and 117 in Nov 75 with a note "model year 1975" by it. Some say they never built these that are called out
but I am not so sure?? I wonder if anyone has a serial NO higher than 1210?

That's interesting. I personally have never seen one that wasn't built in Oct '74.

30254 and 30126

I'm thinking the one Troy has is much higher.

Mine is 30956. Really doubt they built more (production models) than 1200. Everyone I've ever seen was built in 10/74.

Wanie,

I will check the build dates and S/N's of the 4 I have, and the ones close to me when I am home next weekend.
