Oops. You are correct. That is what happens when I try to do email during
the hectic pace at work. I meant the front fender, not the bumper. Besides,
what kind of bumper would sell for $250?
I just took a fairly new front bumper off my 71BGT and put it on the 67
(because it was in much better shape)a few weeks ago - so I can attest that
they are interchangeable on the early and mid-year BGTs .
