The dual headlights were done away with for 1972 and the taillights were change to round ones in the rear. The convertible and the Gran Coupe options were deleted also. Many of the engine options were also discontinued. The ‘Cuda was still great performance car but it wasn’t anything near the killer car it was a year before. The ‘Cuda still came with an upgraded suspension, heavy duty breaks and larger tires which allowed for better handling and road manners.  Unfortunately, the lack of big block engines did hamper straight line performance considerably.
