    It looks like a '73 going by the rear bumper (bumper brackets), but the front bumper is '74-up. BUT, I notice that your front bumper looks recessed a little. Did you recess the front bumper?
    The car looks great! (y)

    It's definitely a '75; front bumper not recessed, just removed/replaced a couple of times.

    I was just talking about the rear bumper. :rolleyes: The 70-72 small rear bumpers are mounted close to the car while the 73 small rear bumpers stick out a little more. Ofcourse '74-up are big bumpers. It looks like there are '73 rear bumper/bumper brackets on your car. That front bumper still looks like it's been pulled in some - compared to other big bumper cars. There are some other guys on the boards that have done that. I think it looks good. Keep posting pics (y)

    I've had a few
    I agree, the front bumper has definately been pulled in some. I don't think the rear bumper is any diffrent on a '73, just the brackets.

    Yes, that's correct. The bumper is the same, but the brackets are different. Also, '73 rear bumper guards are different and are mounted in a different location than the '70-'72's.
