I'm almost certain that awhile ago we determined the following: 72 Cars built in late 71 had the 71 140 speedo. Cars built 01/01/72 and after had the 120 speedo with seatbelt warning light. I learned this the hard way when I got my 72 (built Nov 71). It had 140 speedo (which I thought was wrong) and I tried to put in 120 and found out the car had 71 wiring and seatbelt light wouldn't work. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
BN,
My 72 was a very early build too. 8/71. My GTO has the 71 seatbelts and the 140 MPH speedo without the buzzer. I'd bet they were trying to use up leftover parts from the previous year. Also, a 71 part on my GTO is the rearview mirror, has the polished back instead of the black back, as was mandated regulations for 72's.
