I know when he had his 71 convert, there were 5500 total, and 350K hard tops. I remember there being a lot more 70's and 72's, so the 71 was the lowest production. He had a big block (396/402) with auto, Air, Tach dash and bench seat. I believe he had in the neighborhood of $6500 in it, but sold for 8500-9500 ... I don't know.
