Well, I gotta warn you, if it were up to me I would put the 73 TR6's in 
with the later model TR6's.  Why?  Well lets list what they have in common:
CF series engine
J-type overdrive (if that was an issue, we don't look that deep)
Later style frame
Later style seats
Later style dash board (gauge style, voltmeter vs ammeter, etc)
Later style lighting switches
Later style license plate light
...and the list goes on.

What do the 73 model have in common with the early models:
no rubber bumper overriders.

Kind of superficial selection, don't you think.

Of course all rules changes need the approval of the VTR board.  \the above 
is presented in the interest of full disclosure.  No tweets were harmed in 
this transaction.

Seriously, Darrell's endorsement should be taken as a vote of confidence - 
or desperation.  Not sure which.

Dave
