Looks like an import. Good chance it's a mix of years. I had an 82 imported 45 once. It was my one LC purchase I was just as excited when I sold it as I was when I bought it .I was trying to find the hospital that my grandmother was in on Saturday down in The Woodlands, but I got sort of lost, there are like 5 hospitals down there and I was just taking a tour of all of them apparently. Grandma is fine and I eventually found her, but the detour proved fruitful. I saw this gem in the parking lot of the Home Depot:

This was the first time I ever laid eyes on a 45, other than on here. The license plate says it is a 77. I knew it was later than 75 due to the wipers, but the cowl vent threw me off; my 78 40 doesn't have one, so I'm guessing that either 45s did have them, or this guy is a mix of years . Either way it is looking SHARP! Check out those 70 series turn signals! Other than that I drove my 40 and broke down. After my Pertronix/Distributor woes, I think I have figured out that the "FlameThrower" coil is really the issue. The symptoms are fairly consistent across 2 igniters and now points as well, but with the points it died completely. So, I have a OEM Denso coil coming from ToyotaMatt, that should get it fixed. Back to the 45, does that beauty belong to anyone on here? Have a great weekend everyone!
