Someone is clearly steering the car that goes down the hill after Jason Craig (Barry Sullivan) places Gloria Colby's (Carol Ohmart) dead body behind the steering wheel of the car.
When Gloria's daughter starts to impersonate her, Gloria's body had not been found yet. Part of the impersonation is a large bandage on her face that covers the bruise the viewers are shown when Gloria was accidentally killed. With no witnesses and her body not being found yet it would be impossible for her daughter or Barnaby to know about her bruised face much less exactly where on her face the bruise was.
The drug dealer tosses a small brown envelope on a table and says it contains $150,000. The largest denomination of currency in 1973 was the $100 bill, so the envelope would have to have held 1,500 bills. That would be 15 packets of banded bills, 100 to a packet. The envelope is far too small to hold the $150,000 claimed.
FYI: A packet of one hundred bills measures 6.41 inches long by 2.61 inches wide, by 0.43 inches tall, so, 15 packets would be almost 6.5 inches tall. That envelope was about a third of that thickness.
This was incorrectly regarded as a goof because $1000 bills were still in circulation up to the early 1970s.
