new guy needs help

Hi everyone just got started on this scorpion!!! was wondering if anyone can help identify this sled?? I collect the mid to late 70's scorpions..have little knowledge on the bubble nose era...

With the picture provided, it's a bit tough. I would guess a 69, but I see some conflicting items?

If it has a hood hinge, it is a 70.

Here is a very good read.

yes it has a hinge but it also has a vent only on one side... it has a 293 sachs with a single ring piston...i guess someone added the hood vent..

It's a 70.

x2. .

I looked at your original pic and the serial number looks like it starts 032. The 0 first number indicates 1970 as well.
