older front end on newer body?

Post by sikedmike »

Came across this 1967 roadster front clip on ebay. Do you guys think this would fit on my 68? Image

Nice find. I think it should fit. The only thoughts I have would be with the Steering Box, and radiator fit.

That looks like it has the Brake master pocket, so this may be a 67.5, not a 67?

I dont think 67.5 had the clip in fuel filter. must be a 68.

Clip in filter started in 68. That should fit fine
