Unhappy Just like that, BOOM! Need parts 72 Ventura

The worst happened today. A truck cut into my lane from the right, swerved to avoid it and just clipped the back of a school bus in the left lane.
So now I am in need of a driver side front fender, a front bumper, headlight bezel, marker light, and who knows what else. If you have parts or know of some let me know.
Thanks Joshua

If you can't find anything closer, there are two yards near me (northern Utah) that have Venturas of varying years. Mostly 73 and 74, but there's at least one 71-72.

I just came across a 74 GTO up for parts in Chicago but seller states the car is badly rusted . I can inquire as to the condition of the driver fender and whatever parts you may need

If the rotten fender you mention is the one I've got- it's in good shape except for the heel and that can be patched relatively easily with the commonly available Nova patch.

Not sure if the fenders are the same between '72 & '74, they may be. The front bumpers are definitely much different though.

I saw one other on CL. It was bad. Yours might work. Some 74s were also gto's I believe which I was told were the same. So that should fit as well.

Just took the car back from the body shop today. They were looking over the damage. We will sit down and get a parts list up next week then I'll start collecting all the parts needed. Let u guys know soon.

There has been a NOS 72 Ventura grille surround on CL in Raleigh for the last six months. It's not cheap ($250), but the price isn't horrible either. It's there if you need it.

I picked up that Grill on CL. Still on the hunt for a headlight bezel, fender, and a bumper.
