Hal, both of mine are early '74s (made in Oct '73) both have the same latch as the 13000 car. Only thing I see 'wrong' is the boot and maybe shifter lever. Should have an oval or round boot not the rectangle one on this car.  'The Mix'  
 I was just looking at this car and comparing it to mine when mine was 
new and it seems there is a discrepency. The hatch opening device on 
the 13000 car looks to be from an older year since mine has just a 
button( like a lock/key cylinder) and I know mine is an original 74.
And here I was bragging on this ride.
Anybody figure this out???????
Hal
