Hi 71,
If you're asking with your 71 in mind I believe you'll receive some generic production information and production statistics. There isn't anything specific to a particular car like a tank sticker or shipper's copy.
That would be too wonderful.
Regards,
Alan

I have mine in front of me. They are worth getting
and are free, even the shipping .
They show all the specifications, where to mount emblems , fluids , just like in your owners manual what type. part number ,capacity very in depth engine stuff like the compression ring grove depth. It includes blow ups of all the body parts and how they fit together.

I too got one for my 79 and would definitely say it's worth it. (of course it is, it's free) It does have useful info in it. Unfortunately I can't remember the contact info to order one. I'd try a search here on the forum and hopefully you'll come up with the phone #.

Default Don't Get Too Excited...

I had great expectations for this, thinking that it had some information specific for my particular car, not the whole model year (my misunderstanding).

It's photocopies (some not so good) of marginally helpful info, of which I think about 95% is available on the web with a little searching.

The detail on the engine specs (rings, pistons, rods, lift, duration, etc.) is good to have in one place, but probably well known to machine shops.

I take it to the "reading room" from time to time and browse through it.
