If I remember right, the factory prototypes were done in '72 ( after they
borrowed one from Ken Costello to look at how he did it), and the first
production GT-V8's didn't come out until '73, I do know the Malcom Beer was
dying to get a hold of one in Late '72, but they weren't available yet,
could be wrong through.
