Makes me think the 2nd gen restyle was not well received. Also I wonder why GM didn't make the '69 style 1-2 more years?

Not exactly.
The 69 was in production for about 15 months due to the 70's late intro due to quarter panel forming problems (not a strike)
243,085/15 = 16206 per month
The 70 was in production for 7 months (January thru July) =17,843 per month. So, on per month basis, the 70 outsold the 69's!
71's did drop due to a strike and due to the general, industry wide fall in performance car sales. This was continued into 72 with an even longer strike and perceived performance dropping due to emissions and insurance skyrocketing on performance cars.
