    That's what makes Swallowtails Swallowtails. They ended in mid '76 I believe, correct me if i'm wrong someone more knowledgeable!
    They're more desirable because they're even more interesting and that tiny little bit more ol' school.

    I sure do, I'd love one.
    Everytime I go to visit and work on something for my car, I think "please have become a 2-door Swallowtail... please have become a 2-door Swallowtail!"
    Doesn't happen though.

    aussie assembled cars got a mixed bunch when it came to swallowtail parts. alot of the rear panels were early 76'er but the bonnets and some other features (heature controls, interior fittings etc) lasted all through the aussie cars' production, iirc.
