71 Demon fender extension ?

[The not so tall man]

My car came with mismatched extensions, mismatched chrome trim and some extra parts.

I have what appears to be a beat up pot metal extension, with broken mounting tabs, a fiberglass extensions that looks kinda warped and what looks like a steel extension with chrome trim.

The hood has chrome trim.

All of them are in bad shape, what are my options when looking for a replacement set?

What years are compatible with the demon grill?

Not many options for replacements. The fender extensions are not reproduced.

As far as what can be used or interchanged, your window is '70-'72 Darts and '71/'72 Demons. The '70 and '71 fender extensions both use the "deeper" chrome eyebrow trim, but the extensions themselves came in two varieties and can be fiberglass or pot metal. Either way those interchange. The '72 fender extensions are pot metal and use the shallower chrome eyebrow trim because the inner lip is further out toward the end. The '72 pieces actually use thread in studs, which you can replace with bolts. So those are easier to deal with than the broken mounts on the pot metal '71 extensions. The '72 extensions and trim can be used with the '71 grille, it works just fine so don't let anyone tell you otherwise. It would be better to have a pair of course, because somebody might be able to notice if you had a '71 extension on one side and a '72 extension on the other. They are not identical, but they are interchangeable (either one bolts to the fender and fits behind the grille with the correct year eyebrow for the extension).

Here is a '72 and a '71 extension side by side. The '71 on the right is the pot metal version. You can see the lip is further back, and in the second picture you can see how the chrome eyebrow fits. The '72 chrome eyebrow isn't as deep as it also sits against that inner lip on the '72. As you can see my original '71 extension and eyebrow were damaged, I ended up with a '72 extension trying to replace it at one point.

Any idea what fender extensions are worth? I've got one right side pot metal and one left side glass.

Depends on condition, seems like on eBay most people want $100-$150 for them. I don't see them listed for under $100 much, and of course there are those that list them much higher but they don't seem to sell.

Looks like your right side extension is for a '72, the left is for a '70/71.

Thanks for the info that helps a lot.

IMHO - I don't think, with the chrome trim in place that the 70-71 headlight doors go back into the 72 extension properly. That may not be the case if you scrap the trim on the extensions and the hood. The 72 grille is more shallow.

Ive put the ‘71 and ‘72 headlight surrounds next to each other, they’re the same depth. I’ve mounted the ‘72 extensions on my ‘71 Dart with the ‘71 headlight surrounds with the chrome. They fit. You can put a ‘71 grille in a ‘72, you can put a ‘72 grille in a ‘71. It all interchanges.
