There is a difference in profile for the licence plate depression.

1970- 72 then changes for 72 up to the impact bumpers.

There is also a difference in the valance under the bumper.

Looks like you have a later bumper 72+ with an early valance 1970 to 72


What is the build date for your car.


The differences in bumpers are explained here.

Every 1972 I've seen that had not been hit in the rear, some time in the past had this bumper. Mine included. I've seen your style bumper on 1973 and newer. Did it get hit? Is it a super late manufacture date where early 73 parts might have been on the floor to pull from? First thing I look for on a 914 that says 914-6 on back.

My car is apart now, but I found this pic that you can catch a glimpse of my bumper.

I do not believe the change was 1972. My Six came with the same bumper as the OP's car according to the former owner. My understanding is the change in rear bumpers came in 1971 models mid-production year. My car is a late 1971 and has the later rear bumper. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

These are the factory painted bumpers, both yellow to match my car. They were painted black on the outside. My brother bought my 1972 in 78', I bought it from him in 82'. The blue car I posted is also a 72'. Don't know what to tell you, not the first survivor 72' I've seen with the old bumper.
