I really need a good front bumper for my Z but I cannot find any place half-way affordable. Also, when I looked in some magazines, they don't even list a '73 front bumper only '71-'72. If anyone could fill me in that would be great.

Where are you located? I've got a NOS 73 bumper but it'll cost you the same as what the dealer would want. (Brand new ain't cheap)

The '71-'72 240Z bumpers look better than the '73 which sticks out farther. If you don't care about absolute stock originality I'd go with one of the earlier bumpers, but you'll probably have to find the mounts as they are different if I remember correctly.

Check www.zparts.com or www.datsunzparts.com. Zparts is having a moving sale. Not sure if they have any A quality bumpers but it appears thay do have some.

Moonpup - is that a front or rear NOS '73 bumper?

I am replacing the bumpers on my '71 with fiberglass, so I'll have a complete front bumper (great shape) and a complete (bent downward and inch or so on right side) rear bumper avaialable. Let me know . . .

I know the front bumper was different on the 73's but if the back was the same as the earlier ones, then here you go.

How much do you want for just the front( if you're willing to sell them seperate) because that would be just perfect for what I need.
