I think a left front 1/4 for a 67 would make an excellent gift for somebody....

Rick,

It's for a 1968 but a European Standard with blade bumpers! The only difference is the brake fluid reservoir that you have to take out and that's it!
Go get it and put your car back on the road!!!  Wink

Rick-
other item that comes to mind is the gas tank vent hose. 67 has the clips on the driver-side. 68 has the gas tank door on the passenger side panel.

Good Luck Bud.

 Huh

Cuz I'm not always the sharpest tool in the shed. I didn't realize that it had the correct bumper mounts. I thought it had the ones for a square bumper.

Sorry Richard and thanks!

Damn I keep striking out. The listing that Fabs/Richard and several others sent, the guy is out of the US until February.   Cry

On the one that popped up today, I've sent several emails and texts no response.

Thanks everyone.

That's no luck. Maybe T-Fabs with his work at Vintage Autohaus will find you a 67 or 68-up euro standard clip (maybe in europe...).
