The side stripes appear to be too wide for factory, so it's likely this car was repainted. That makes all bets off.

Joe, I am not so sure - the wheel trim may make the stripes appear thicker.

I considered that. It's difficult to tell from that photo.

As previously mentioned, the unpainted headlight bezels say 71. Of course they would have been easy to change.
