    What engine does that thing have in it? You'd be surprised about parts. A lot of GM models used the same catalog. I can pull that rear bumper from an olds in the junkyard right now. Pretty sure it's still there because nobody has the right tools to take it off ;) I wonder if the front end is the same as well...

    You know what I'm going to try and pull the front bumper for you saturday, I bet it's the same.

    Yep each divisions offerings for 73-74 X had a distinct front clip. Hood hinges did cross over.

    i wonder ,are the hoods all different ? a good body man could possibly save mine .but im sure i cant . how about fenders ?as to engine its a 350/350 2v .mtr seems very strong . fries one tire pretty good for a antique worn out 2v

    I believe the entire front clips are all different, glass, doors, quarters, and trunks are the same for the same years. I could be wrong. newmexguy knows.

    I went and checked this out about a year ago. Front clip was already gone. I cut part of the tail panel out and that’s about all I could use from it.

    I will keep an eye out around here(southern NM). I was just able to pick up a complete 75 skylark parts car that is in as good as or better shape than the one I already have.
