That long blinker spear says it's a '70 model.

My 69 had the short spears which I replaced with the longer ones as I felt they were "faster".

There were four B10 models, 1967, '68, 69, & 70 but only three front guards/fenders in Aussie models. They differed only in the size, shape, & position of the hole for the blinker.

These blinkers were
1967 Small round dome.
1968 Short spear
1969 Short spear
1970 Long spear

Edited to correct error of fact.
The long spear was positioned slightly lower down & rearward from the short spear location, but only slightly.
The picture shows a spare new 1968 guard that I had painted & ready to go onto my 1968 sedan. I had it fitted up with a new blinker light too, but it was subsequently used in the repair of my 1970 coupe. The pencil line shows the position of the new hole, the rest was filled & the whole guard was painted a different shade of white to match the coupe.

The long spears are in fact the same light as the 1600's used, but they were different in the electrical fitting at the end of the harness.

See my previous post for additional material & a correction.

And lack of Sunny coupe badge is a bit of a give away as well.

Dodgeman, I swear you have written what you wrote some other place, some other time?

The paint looks fantastic on this car.

So do the rims of course.

I envy this guy...The volcanic ash has already eaten my chrome bumpers after I had put them into storage.....so upset, trying to get the whole granny spec thing going and now all my chromes are green with corrosion.
