Years ago, there was an interview with the designer of the 71 RR/GTX/Sebring in one of the Mopar mags. He said looking back on it, the only thing he didn't like about the 71s was the tail lights didn't fit the design. He said that they got it right with 72 tail lights and rear bumper because they were supposed to remind you of the shape of the grill up front.
That's a cool insight I never noticed before

BTW, anyone ever seen a full tube chassis 71-72 RR? I would consider replacing the Challenger if I found one already done. A friend of mine has a old 72' RR funny car body that has been cut up into 5 pieces. I have seen a few 71-72 funny cars out there but just haven't, seen the rr chassis cars, at least out here on the west coast. Please post picks if you have them! Keith

The designer also said that Chrysler received a lot of complaints about the 71 tail lights being hard to see, since they were set low in the bumper and actually angled towards the ground. It was the main reason for moving them up and making them more prominent on the 72s.

Nope, but interesting fact ....you could get the V21 V25 stripes on any 2 door Satellite in 1972! V21 V25 are the hood and deck stripes found on N96 cars for 1972.
