Quick RX4 question - dimensions

Could anyone please measure the length of their RX4 coupe or know what the length of it is? I see the sedan is right about 14 feet, but I can't find the dimensions of the coupe. I appreciate any help.

I found a project where the car is completely apart and would like to fit all the stuff into a Uhaul, but I need to know the size of the car.

Thanks. The specs for the sedan on wikipedia are actually shorter than this for the coupe?

Another question. Would a 1975 RX4 have the pointy front end or the uglier (IMO) front end that came on the later ones? Most people seem to talk about how they like the '74 style over the '76 style with no mention of '75.

I just looked in my factory Mazda repair manual for 1976 and the sedan and hardtop are the exact same length 179". The 1975 will be the same style as the '74. They changed them in '76. Most people think that the '76 and later cars are ugly, but with a bit of work you can make them look nice. I removed all the ugly rubber trim and built a custom front bumper for mine. Makes a huge difference!

i've owned both..Imho74 has a mean look while the 76 has a slightly updated appearance and larger intake and stronger tranny. overall, both are heavy as **** but nice on top end due its weight.
