A bit earlier than that.

After some review, I see that my source is inconsistent. It initially states that the build was begun and completed before 1975. Later, it states that the build began before 1975, but wasn't completed until some years after.

I'm not sure what engine it began with, but the original engine was eventually swapped out. The replacement engine (which it had at the time of the puzzle photo) was not American.
