Nice ‘71 LeMans Sport convertible! For the record, the badging on the driver’s fender, including the Sport script, is correct for 1972 (on a chrome bumper Sport; an endura nose car has a vent there of course). Your ‘71 LeMans Sport should have a series of vertical gills there on both front fenders and the LeMans Sport emblems on both quarters.
When I restored my former ‘71 LeMans Sport hardtop, which coincidentally was originally Nordic silver but had been repainted blue by a PO, I couldn’t find actual ‘71 LeMans fenders with the fake gills. So….I had smooth fenders with no gills or emblems at all. I think I found ‘72 fenders in salvage yards and filled the holes for the emblems those cars had there.
