Looks like someone trying to make a 72 look like a 71.

Is that a screen capture of some sort? Maybe the car is a stunt double for a 71.

I agree, having dealt with all kinds of movie cars, stunt cars, hero cars etc. they would do whatever was fast and cheap to make a stunt car look like a hero car because they would only bee seen for a few seconds.

Also note the shaved side markers. The didnt match the 71s so they erased them. Ever see a general lee? no markers, no reverse lights. They had to make 68s and 70s look like 69s.
