Converting a '71-'72 to a '70....really ?

[Hank70SS]

Production wise there may not be a lot more 71,72 but they generally are cheaper than a 70. Regardless of which one you like most the 70 does command a higher price.

A lot of people like the 4 headlight system of the 70 and the rear bumper, taillights on the 71/72. So they'll buy a 71/72, which is cheaper, then put a 70 front end on.
