    All front valences should be identical, except for the 73 which had a wider opening, but would still fit the car.

    What is wrong with your ebay find? Pictures help.

    If it is an aftermarket fiberglass one, let us know. there is another thread going on right now about those...http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=64079

    no scoop it's an o.e. part brand new still in box,dimention wise it's smaller,and has no
    place to mount front lic. plate and only 3 mount holes on bottom where spoiler would go,the one that came on the car has 5 holes,and i plan on installing a spoiler,this even has a sticker on it,saying that it's the 34th of 131 to be made with dealer code too,kinda kool.took a better look at the bent,gonna take a hammer to her see if we can save her.

    scoop you'r right it is for a 73 and as you say will fit, but since i'm going to put a spoiler on her i like the fact that my original has 5 mounting holes instead of 3. and yes BOOSHA i will post some pics by sun.
