So, my dad has a 73 mustang that was parked a little to close to the
garage when the house burned.  The front bumper has a portion of the
rubber coating burned off.

I look at this and say, oh there must be plenty of parts out there for
this car, after all its a mustang, you know, collectible.  WRONG.  I
find out that this is a year specific part.  Not only that, but no one
seems to be providing a reproduction/replacement.  Plenty of parts for
the other years though.

So, what do mustang guys do when this kinda thing happens?  I can see
getting a replacement from a boneyard, but at what price?  I also
wonder about getting in an accident while traveling more than 5 MPH.
Is this type of thing repairable?

Contact these guys if you cant find anything local to you. They have
literally THE largest Mustang boneyard in the world. I know they'll have a
replacement for your bumper. Yes they are pricey and can be a bit crusty
when you talk to them, but they will definitely have your bumper. They even
have a whole section in the yard for other classic fords. I was able to get
a replacement rear glass for my '68 Ranchero when it got busted. Ask for
Don.

73 front bumper was a 1 year deal. The crome one is avalible from npd. I
think the fiberglass one would have to come out of a doner. There out there
you can find one.
