Because it's a 1972. Official production of the Six Pack/Six Barrel engines ended in 71. But Chrysler initially advertised the motor as available in the 72 model year but then killed it prior to official release, though several early pilot, preproduction cars made it out of the gates and into private hands.

I think he was referring to a 71 Bee, Steve.

Half the time I have a hard time figuring out what I am referring to, let alone anyone else. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Not to drag Steve back into this (OK, maybe just a little) but if hes calling them preproduction and pilot cars than I'm not betting against him.

If i recall correctly the 72 6-packs were killed due to emissions issues and they couldnt get them emissions certified. Remember, 72 was pretty much the drop dead year for all makes of engines to go to low compression. The 6-pack's 10.3 to 1 comp ratio just couldnt pass the federal emissions tests so they had to kill the optional engine.
