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. 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.
