In 72 the big fugly 5mph bumpers were not installed yet so I would think they would be black like the 70-71 cars. I think 73 marked the first year of the offset bumper brackets and with them the argent spacer.

Your bad what?

Back to the question..........

I have seen them light textured argent, body color and black.

The argent one was on a 70 V-code car.
The black one was on a T/A
The body colored one was on a Plain 72 Challenger.

These were all original cars, back in the 90's.

Are the waters muddy enough for you now?
