1972 Red Coupe

This was the last year for front and rear chrome bumpers and the alarm system was now a standard issue item. Beginning in 1972 and continuing thereafter, horsepower would be measured as "net" rather than the less realistic "gross" ratings of earlier years.

FIBERGLASS FACT: This was the only year air conditioning was available with the LT1 engine and since only 240 were so equipped, this combination is a rare find today.
