1971

1971 saw the addition of the Sportabout, a 4-door wagon using a single hatch design in place of the traditional tailgate. The 2 and 4-door sedans were carryovers. The 232 engine was now standard across the range. Also of note was the SC360, a limited production compact 2-door muscle car with the 360 in³ V8, styled wheels, hood scoop, body striping, as well as other performance and appearance upgrades. Intended as a follow-up to the 1969 SC Rambler, the SC Hornet never sold well and only 784 were made. The Sportabout's production numbers, on the other hand, speak for themselves; for most of its life it was the only American-made wagon in its size class.
