360cuda, I got the build date, 11,13,1973 from the fender plate info. I ordered the car the first week of Sept. 1973 and it was the soonest the De Cozen Chrysler Dealer, Bloomfield Ave., Montclair N.J. could take an order for a 1974 model. Not to say that some 1974's weren't produced before that, so it is an early model, for the shortest production (-9000), with the final one rolling off the assembly line on April 1, 1974. "A cruel joke". The color of mine is the one shown in the 1974 sales brochure, Moonstone Met. but I left out the beige top. The joke at the time was, "when it rusts out, it won't show".
