PL-620 "Li'l Hustler"
The introduction of the PL620, named the "Li'l hustler", was a vihicle
with a four-cylinder (a 92-horsepower) L16 engine, and a weight of 2286 pounds. Its suggested list price was $2236 on its
release to the US on May 31, 1972.
This model was a immediate replacement for the very successful PL-520/521 model. It was
embraced with open arms due to the energy crisis of the 70's. In 1974 the L16 was replaced with the L18 and was only to be
replaced again in 1975 by the L20b.

The 620 was available with either a standard 4 speed manual or a 3 speed automatic transmission. It
was not until 1977 that a 5 speed became available. The 620 was often referred to by its owners as the bullet or the bulletside
because of its unique body lines that began on the doors, just below the window and continue as bed rails down the bed and
around the tailgate.
