yes it is a 72 but built 8/71 ...I just wasn't sure how accurate they were being this was the first month of the build in 72...do you know what else was different and when things changed in 72 like the seat belt light?
I was wandering I have 1972 Mach that was built 8/71 so being this was the first month of the 72 model year was the engine really a 71 model...it looks like things didnt really change until 12/71 such as the fasten seat belt was added.
