    72 bumper
    « on: April 11, 2007 - 11:58:44 AM »
    a guy down the road has a 72 Challenger...
    it has the large bumber guards typicaly found on the 73-74

    were there any late 72's that had them from the factory?

    fenders, and signal lights look 72,
    but Both front and rear bumpers have large guards
    Vin says 72 ...Very odd

    From the factory, current model year cars usually got the left overs from the previous model year, ie '72 got left over '71 parts.

    72 turn indicators are different from 73-4

    73-4 have screws thru the tops...72 do not

    no new bumpers were added, one(now two owner) car.

    so the claim is that a 72 came from the factory with what we know as 73 Bumper guards...
