It very possibly is for a zone demonstrator car as I've seen others like that, and they were zone cars.
Show the complete sheet.

What exactly was a zone demonstrator car? I guess I would now have to ask why would a zone car be built in May of 72. Wouldnt a car used for demonstration be built in late 71?

Is this car a Chevelle?
Here is a possible THEORY of why in May.
Factory demos for traveling reps were typically driven less than 10K miles. At that point they were offered at a discount to dealers to sell as "factory exec" cars. Warranty miles and time did not begin until it was sold to a customer so it was like buying a broke in new car at a discounted price. Often there was a "friend" of the exec driving the car that wanted his offed demo. Sometimes the car was actually speced by a customer that was assured they would get the car after it was done in factory service. Sometimes the rep themselves would buy the car for themselves or a family member.
A factory rep would be prevy to the styling change of the Chevelle for 1973. A lot of people did not like the appearance of the 1973. A late year 1972 model build for one of these cars MAY have been caused because of this.
