Is it already registered in California? (assuming you are in California)
I've been caught out like this before! CA in this case is Canada not California.........................................
You'd think the maple leaf flag would have been a hint for me...

CA
Mid to late 70,s CA market car
look for rust.......


ha.... lol just noticed year in title

my first car ever was a 77 MINI
looks like indicators are mounted to body 
originally they would have been mounted to the bumper
They moved to the grill in 78
