    Another difference is that rear seat shape and side panels got changed to accept retractable belts. My Comet is very early 72 production and it has the 72 seat and side panels, but non-retractable seat belts in all 4 positions. No seat belt light.

    That is the exact same set-up my 1972 Grabber had.
