Seen that picture a bunch, notice the rare luggage rack on the back...
A fuel injected example with non-factory (looks like rally) wheels.
The stance doesn't look factory either (but hard to tell for certain).

Yeah, because this was shot- Pre-anal retentive, money grubbing, control junkies started chasing people away from car clubs....

First thing to change out was tires and wheels, then moved on to the radio/speakers, followed by psychedelic paint jobs.....Remember, you were there!

My Bryar Blue 72 had one too....I took it off and tried to fill the holes before I had it painted. Did everything I was told but still the filled holes telegraphed and became visible within a few months.....

Mine was resale red over what was the original Donnybrook Green. I used a few of those plastic hole caps.

My 75 had a luggage rack and I used it. I had t-top straps and put them on the rack often.
