Hopefully it is a late 72, it looks like the windshields are the later standard ones, not the early small unavailable ones? Thumbs Up

Back doors are indeed different! I didn't think Barth used a 327 engine. Either the engine was changed or the small block 350 was misidentified?

Looks like the driveshaft is lying on the floor. Maybe they had it towed?

If things check out, it wouldn't be that bad to swap a radiator. If not, there's probably enough scrap metal to cover the price!

I agree with Steve. Also the dash is not the same as my '73. Mine is flat. I have a similar dash from
a post '73.

Not sure when the 327 ended but probably before 71, pretty sure it was '69 and by then I think the crank had larger journals that were incorporated with the 350. I particularly like the 4X4 door latch.
