If it's confirmed to be a 72 by the emblem, is there any difference in appearance from a 70? This price looks good.
Bottom front of fender can tell a lot because 70-73 are unique . As OPH said , and I have owned many and still have a few, there was a lot of SR fenders banged out in the 80s before they went disco which had the square hole, BUT they also had the lower front for the 79-81 lower valence too.
