Mighty Maverick (1970) vs. Street Snorter (1973)

Several changes were made to the casting to reduce costs. The large rear spoiler wing was removed. The black grille paint and taillight detail are omitted.
The glass insert retains the holes where the wing attached to the interior. No other casting changes are noted.

The wide array of the colors of the 1973 Street Snorter, the tampoed examples are from later years.
Shading of some colors is apparent, sometimes due to a white undercoat that was used intermittently.
