Being that the car in question is serial number 347 its very safe to say it was produced before this cutoff. Did I read any of that incorrectly?

I'm not sure if '75 #0347 would be prior to the fatty wheel cutoff. I don't think Ryan's book has the production dates for all the MFI Carreras (this was an awesome addition to his 3-liter Turbo book w/ all chassis numbers and factory production dates). If they took the steering wheel off the car, it would be easy to take a photo of the date stamp and it might clear things up. Same thing would apply to the Fuchs wheels. They might have intentionally left out some of these details out as the dates may not match up. Taking a photo of the speedometer date would be easy as they pop out without much effort. Someone on BAT even suggestion that Mitsuwa re-worked the original speedo which I think is unlikely but might be more believable if the speedo date is late-74 or early-75.
