73 would have to be 73 or 74 as you could make 68-72 with one of those years or 75-78 with one of those year cars,w' the proper changes.

75-80 was a whole different body/subframe/ you name it...
73-74 would be the best (cheapest) option...

73-74 has a different rear body panel bumpers and related items I think the interior is quite different also IIRC, it would be far cheaper and easier to just us the 73-4 front sheetmetal.

put the correct front end on it and then build for that year.....definitely would not pass as a 68-72....also a 68 ignition key is on the dash and not steering column .
