Hello Vincent,
It might of have a body swaped? Maybe rust in the bird cage area. Maybe a fire or damaged body? Check the dates on the glass. What are the codes for all the glass?

Hello Vincent,
The glass date code are 2 small letters etched in the glass. What are the codes for the door glass driver and pass sides?

Vincent,
Do you have the 70-72 Technical Information Guide & Judging Manual? There is a wealth of information in this manual and you can answer many questions just by owning this. In addition, if you don't own the Assembly Instruction Manual, you will also find that this is chock full of information on how your car was assembled.
