70-73 are the same body style, how can they be less attractive ? The only diff was when they offered the high rear spoiler in mid '71 and added the front spoiler in the front.

Mark.. although your almost on the money, some key differences in the 70-71-72-73 Camaros in include a different grill, seats, spoilers, bumper brackets/clips, emblems and gagues to name a few. I guess what the listing is trying to say is through the early 1970s, the more refined the Camaros became, the less attractive they were to buyers. This does hold true as total production of the 1970 Camaro was 124K cars, being the highest sale of any 2nd Gen Camaro year. My .02.

The 70-71 grills were identical; the 71 front emblem is different and actually nicer.
The 71 had both the high and low rear spoilers. The front spoiler became available
in 71. The 70 had the same front seat as the 69. The 71 seat is MUCH more comfortable
I believe the gauges were changed in 72; the 70 and 71 are the same. 150 Speedo and 8
grand tach. The 70 and the 71 unless you know what you are looking for are almost identical.
It deserves better then an (8) “IMO”
