That is a late build but I'm sure there were some built after Dec for 72 cars, All special and personal ordered cars would have a build date after that I would think. There has to be good 6 months of 72's that would of been built after that.

He is correct in saying that it's still a higher horsepower car, compared to a '73.
Some of the late build '72's came with the lower compression engine and cast crank, found in '73.
And I agree with Keith, probably good until May, as the engines were assemble a few weeks prior the cars build date, and by July or so, they would be building '73 cars for the September release of the new model year.
