Baron,
Hate to differ but hoods will not interchange between 68-70 and 71-72
Earlier are rounded hoods to match front end. Later are peaked in the middle
won't match.

You beat me to the punch Jack.
I was looking at some pix and saw a 72 flat hood car.
Came running back here to admit my shame, and you already got me !

That Blue 72 in the spoiler picture must have a 70 header panel on it.
Or a 70 endura

Don't remember if he posted a front shot of car.
I gotta go find that thread in a while.

Don't have any idea what made me tag the picture as "72 lemans ta spoiler 1" when i saved it. Russ didn't even state what year model it was in the thread.

Just checked his profile .... says he has a 1970 Lemans 2 Door.
I fupped up pretty good on that deal.
sorry folks

Did somebody say duck tail?

I find it interesting that Squirbles (apologies if I've grossly misspelled his name) early production car has 71 lenses - my early Sundance WW5 had them as well - but in 40 years lots can change.

It's my opinion that '72 cars built 3Q-71 may have come from factory with '71 tail lights. Mine has them and I think other '72 owners have them as well

John's car is not an original ducktail car, but yes, it's a very pretty car. He added the strobe stripes a few years ago. John's been laying low since his priorities have changed. I believe the original production docs showing that 2 ducktail cars were built are correct, although I don't know how many more spoilers were sold over the parts counter.
