For late cars there are 2 kinds of exhaust systems: the kind with muffler, 
damper, and tailpipe, and the kind with muffler and damper/tailpipe. Your 72 
would have come with the latter style originally, but either could have been 
fitted in the last 30 years. If you have the 3 part kind you can just replace the 
tailpipe alone. I have them and they are cheap.

If you have the 2 part style with the integral damper/tailpipe, then it's possible 
you could get a muffler shop to bend up and weld on a new outer end.
