New Member here with a 1973 Monte
Hey All,, Just added a 1973 Monte Carlo to my collection. I usually buy station wagons but could not pass this car up. Triple black car, all original with 59,000 miles. I am trying to locate a set of front bumper fillers for it but have not had much luck. I don't know the Monte's very well so I was wondering if 74 bumper fillers are the same. Below is a picture of my car.

Thanks for the welcome Space. The MC has the 350 in it, bench seat car, air, cruise, tilt, power windows,power locks. Wish it had bucket seats and console but oh well. I also have a 67 Firebird, 73 Caprice Estate Wagon, 74 Impala Wagon, 76 Pontiac Grand Safari Wagon, 74 and 75 Caprice two doors. I really wanted a 70-72 MC but found this one cheap so bought it.

Thanks for your reply & sharing your other rides...I'm sure that you will find a 1st Gen Monte in your future.
Look forward to seeing pictures of all your auto collection. We love cars/vehicles on our site...We are a Monte Carlo Auto forum...
Do you drive all your cars, or are they just for show ?
If they were mine, I'd have to drive them
Look forward to your future posts & I wish you the best with your new 2 you 73 Monte Carlo > EnJoy

That's a killer looking Monte forsure! Mmmmmm Triple black! My favorite!
Sounds like you have a nice collection of vehicles, I look forward to see some picks of them all.

Swammy:
I took it upon myself to do some research for you...
Your 1973 has a 3 piece bumper filler (heres a link)
Muscle Car Parts, Pontiac GTO Parts, NOS GM Auto Part, Trans AM, Oldsmobile 442 Cutlass, Buick GS Skylark, Firebird, Bonneville, Grand Prix, Catalina, Olds 88 98, Starfire, Chroming, Polishing, Welding, Stainless Steel Straightening, Aluminum, Restor filler
The 1974 is a 2 piece bumper filler (heres a link)

Apparently,
the 1973 isn't interchangeable with any other year as far as the bumper filler is concerned....Its the only year they used a 3 piece bumper filler. Despite the 1974 being interchangeable with the 1975.. Which doesn't help you with your 1973... Unfortunately...
I did however call them(The parts place)that's the name of the company.. to dbl check for you. Just to be sure my information was correct about there non-interchangeability...
However....
you could use the first link to order one for your 1973
Hope this helps.
