Converting a '71-'72 to a '70....really ?

[Derek69SS]

I have no shame. I'd build what I want using whatever I can afford... If I was looking for a '70 project, but the right deal on a '71-'72 came up, I wouldn't hesitate to buy and change it.

I'd do the same to a lot of cars... any 68-72 El Camino I'd put a '69 nose on. Any 68-72 Nova I'd put the '68 bumpers and grille on. Any 16-22 Model T I'd put a '15 hood, radiator, and fenders on.

had a friend with a 57 chev and a 55 front clip on it .... weird!

.... but what I was try to convey with my earlier post ... given the production numbers by the article writer 200 rhousand 70's produced tells me they are not rare at all

Can I put a Pacifica front end on a Genesis coupe?

Production wise there may not be a lot more 71,72 but they generally are cheaper than a 70. Regardless of which one you like most the 70 does command a higher price.

A lot of people like the 4 headlight system of the 70 and the rear bumper, taillights on the 71/72. So they'll buy a 71/72, which is cheaper, then put a 70 front end on.
