I have been told that the limited slip was available as an option in
'73 or '74.  But, I don't remember seeing anything at the time that
would confirm the assertion.  Limited slip became standard (in U.S.
delivered Spiders) in '76 or '77.  (My '69 1750 GTV has the axel from a
'77 Spider.)

The back seat of a GTV6 or a 105 chassis GTV is great transportation
for a family of 3 or 4.
