Shark tooth was not standard either year on 340s unless it was a twister. We both ordered our cars from the dealer and I think I had to pay $30ish more for the ST grill. Your probably correct about the power steering as he had it dealer installed after delivery.

I understand.Its just constant posts that everything changed in 72 and the cars got slower.thet didn't

Thanks for the insight. I feel better about ordering that $200 Rolex I have had my eye on

I appreciate your opinion

Sorry guys not trying to break balls. Just my 2 cents as someone who lived in the day. As you can see it took 15 years to catch up. Cheers

Please don't believe the 1972 hype that they got any slower. They had to lie about a lot back then. My farther bought a 71 340 4 speed with 3:55s He did have A/C, power steering/ brakes. Follow year I purchased a 72 340 3 speed standard with 3:91s I ordered it without any options other than...
