72 Chrysler Newport fender tag

[highvoltagepete]

Hi. Can I get a little assistance with this fender tag please. Trying to buy this car but a couple things seem fishy.
Thanks to anyone who can assist.
Figured out motor- 400-2bbl.
Fender mounted turn signals
Single rear speaker
Rest is unclear with my searches.
72 Chrysler Newport

and got back:
