So here is my CL steal!! I saved her from a very bad situation and will make her almost new again [emoji1]I'm guessing it to be a 1977?? If so it is older than I am....

71-75 from the lid vent and from the wheels I'd guess more toward 75. Beauty pickup. Your triangle is upside down.

Beautiful! Proving tough for me just to find blacks with wood handles around me.
Still need a 22” yellow
