I searched the archives but found limited info.

How much would it cost to convert? Ballpark figures are fine :D

:cry :cry Why would you ruin the car.......probably be better to buy a 68-72

Depends on how you want to do it. If you just want to patch in some raw fiberglass and some donor pieces cut off a '68-'72 front surround, then bolt up a used bumper and grilles, you're probably talking about $800 to $1k. Then you have to paint it to match, which would end up being a full paint job most likely.

If you want it done "right" then you'd have to replace the top surround, bond in the fenders, buy a front valance panel, and then repaint. New panels plus a new bumper, guards, grilles, brackets, and accessories is probably in the $2500 range.

Either way, you'll be left with a car that is worth less than it was before you started hacking on it. If you want a chrome bumper car, buy one. There are plenty of them out there to be had at fairly reasonable prices. Don't hack up a '73.

Just my $0.02

'73 Vettes are way too unique to wack. Besides, it would be a bunch of work to do...

Alright alright. I'll leave it alone. BTW: the cars not original anyways, but I should probably leave it stock looking.

I thought about this, too - since I'm putting the 75 nose on the 70 rear clip.
WAY too much work - forget about the price of all the chrome goodies to "make it right". I will be quite happy to have my "72.5" look like a 73.
Spend the $$ on go fast parts - more fun for the buck.

:seeya

The only way to do it would be to put a 70-72 front clip on the car. Should be able to pick up the clip for $1000-$1500. Then install and paint costs. Maybe $3000 total??? Better off to trade.
