Re: 72 Lemans ?
'71 has a plastic header and '72 has a metal header. Also front valance panel is body color on '71 and chrome on'72. Also check the emissions sticker on the radiator shroud or radiator support panel as it will tell you the original engine and year.
The 6th number of the vin is the year.
Someone could have put a '71 front clip on a '72 as '70-'72 can be interchanged if you do the entire front clip.
Don't just throw away those fake louvers as they sell for about $17 each thru the restoration companies. Cid should be on rocker panel unless 6 cyl or 455.
Almost forgot, rear valance panel is metal in '71 and plastic in '72.
