Its okay, my "89" is really an 86 berli underneath. But you could never tell by looking at it.

Any idea where you can get a split bumper front end from? Is YearOne expensive? 2nd gens are dime/dozen right now but most are rusty.

I prefer the white '73 Super Duty T/A with a blue bird on the hood! Very Happy

no problem Wink

The split bumper cars ROCK!

does anyone know if 2nd gens are the same as thirdgens, as in their body panels are interchangeable?

Could you take a 77 and make a 1970 split bumper clone?


No, they are not. You can check Nastyz28.com for all the details you ever wanted to know about 2nd gens but basically 70-73's interchange (chrome bumper era), 74-77's interchange (big bumper era), and 78-81's interchange (urethane bumper era), although there were alot of minor changes within those years and some body panels will interchange. Here is a link.

On the 2nd gen birds up to 74 had a flat back window and a floorpan made for dual exhaust and th400. After that theres a wrap around back window and different floor.

My dad had a 79 bandit TA. Was lowered in the front and had tan interior.. Bad ass car. I've got a 79 thats in pieces now too, to go along with my 74 formy. Been thinking of a bandit clone.
