Before 1974 "pre impact"


The 1974 model year saw 3 significant changes. First, the engine size was increased to 2687 cm³ .

Second, was the introduction of impact bumpers to conform with low speed protection requirements of US law, these bumpers being so successfully integrated into the design that they remained unchanged for 15 years.

Thirdly, the use of K-Jetronic CIS Bosch fuel injection in 2 of the 3 model line up
