Mfd date of your Rx2..

Now that we are getting quite a # of Rx2 people showing up on this part of the fourm.
I was thinking it would be nice to see what everyones Mfd date is. Along with the year, color, if it's a 2dr or a 4dr.

Ill start..

Year: - 1972
Make: - Rx2 2Dr
Mfd: - 10/71
Color: - Stock blue

Can't get under the hood to get the color #. To much crap on top of it.
This could also help some of us with getting parts, also finding out about what stuff was changed in the differnet years.

I've got horn buttons on the steering wheel, but no "Coupe'" on the trunk, door locks are near the front of the door and antenna is on the right front fender.

only 71's have the rear antenna, Coupe' badge and rearward door locks.

was looking at the coupe emblem and it isn't what you
would call a strong piece I would be worried that they
would break it.
