Wanted: Left front fender for 1970 Electra

    I've been driving around with the worst looking left front fender since I bought the car in 1999. It looks like someone who just learned how to weld joined two bad fenders together and then handed it to another person who barely sanded it and then spray bombed it. I have been blaming the previous owner for this terrible fender, but it is about time I tried to get a new or used one.

    Does anyone know which models interchange? I think a Wildcat from the same year? Not sure how much I should pay for one in decent shape. Obviously I have some patience to find the right one at the right price, since I have lived with this one for 20 years. Buick in the wild.jpg

    DVAP / CTC auto likely has it. Personally I have not had success selling clean one year only big car fenders "saved" from the U pull its. With some exceptions - these, which were not perfect - did sell. The few I did collect - wound up @ DVAP.

    Newmexguy, I am not that well versed in the fact that this was a one-year-only fender. After taking a look at DVAP and CTC, I think I will be able to interchange the Wildcat and the LeSabre with the Electra. Neither of those two websites have a loose fender for the 1970 full size Buicks. I will just have to keep looking! Thanks for the leads, I will bookmark the websites.

    If you find a source can you send me a message? I will do the same. I need a 70 RH. Thanks.

    Idk if the fenders are any good, but I just posted a '70 Electra that's in my local pic-n-pull. In the pics the front bumper looks beautiful.
