What is the deal with 1972 and earlier model years?

Yep, after 72 horsepower was way down, emission control was way up, safety regs made everything bigger, heavier and more utilitarian over style! What does that mean for you, because you have a 73?? It means that the bumper was bigger and the style of the car had to reflect and absorb that I to a look that form followed function!! Old schoolers like the earlier look, but it's YOUR car, so the only persons opinion you should care about is your own!

My personal opinion is that because of logistics, and the lack of affordable 72 and earlier cars, the 73 and later cars have come on strong! There are tons of them out there to choose from, and some very high quality rust free examples to choose from! Almost gone are the days of finding an affordable 67-9 Barracuda or Dart, a 70-72 Duster or Demon, and don't even get me on the subject of 68-70 Roadrunners and Chargers!

So, what's wrong with your 73??? Not a damn thing, man!! Enjoy it while you're u got it, it could be an 80's Camaro or Trans Am!!
