I have had these for sale for a while and I know the price is right. But I was never sure what year(s) they were. I think the rear valance is a 1973-1976 but I cannot confirm that. What are the differences on the valance panels by year?
I have an interested buyer that would like to know the answer to this. Thanks!
Full Version: What Years Are These Valances For?

Not here to debate pricing, value, opinions, and what not. I'm only here to find out information on the model years. Thank you!
I believe that the fronts are all the same, all years.
The 70-71 had two different styles for the rear valance. Both were taller than the 72-76 version, and both had a "porthole" for the tailpipe to come through. The hole for the 914-6 version was in a different location than that for the 914-4 version.
All of the 72-76 cars had the shorter rear valance shown in your photo. This one had a notch for the tailpipe.
Interestingly, the 914-6 rear valance only fits the 914-6 muffler's tailpipe. The 911 muffler (much more commonly available) has a tailpipe which fits the 914-4 valance better than the -6 valance, and the late "shorty" valance fits with the 911 muffler best of all.
Double-check this against what you can find in the "Originality" forum.
