    In 71, you could also get reflective stripes, not so in 72. In addition to the text differences you mention, the hood stripe was painted on in 71 and is one large stripe, vs the 72 hood stripe which is vinyl and has a split down the middle:

    In 1971, the word "Grabber" was silk screened onto the side decals.

    In 1972, the word "Grabber" was cut out of the decal so that the body color shows through. (As below)
