    Depends on your interpretation of "Electric Shift". Actually, the 1973 was "Hydro-Electric Shift". Hydraulic pressure from an oil pump did the shifting, but a pair of electrically-operated valves controlled the oil flow and resulting shift. This is a totally different system than the spring-clutch electric shift through 1972.
