Would anyone know if a drivers side front fender from a 73 coupe fit a 70 convertible Ghia?

I have a line on a 73 coupe parts car for $400 and need mainly the drivers side front fender so wanted to make sure the turn indicators among other things were the same.

Thank you!!

Don

PS, does anyone have any front fenders for my car for sale if this parts car does not work out??

Your front fenders would be 1970 - 71 model years only. The 1972-74 model year front fenders used the same turn signal, but the bumper bracket opening is larger to accommodate the larger 1972-74 bumpers. If you sectioned the fenders outboard of the bumper brackets, I believe they are identical.

Thank you, I did check and the fender section I need does go beyond the bumper bracket area so I will keep looking for the years you mentioned.

Have you had success finding used/new parts on the Samba Classifieds portal?

As always, thank you very much for the advice!!
