The 1971 had M U S T A N G in individual letters across the decklid, but 1972 and '73 had a small Mustang script emblem on the right hand corner of the decklid. From frontal views I have seen from the movie it has the 1973 grill. -- Last edit: 2009-08-14 22:05:32

They are positioned together narrower than the '73 guards, hence, they line up with the honeycomb panel. As shown here, the 1973 bumper guards - now a standard feature - do not extend above the main bumper, and they are spaced to fall between the two inner lenses of the taillights. Hence, confirmed 1973. -Kurt
