    Hmmmm nice ‘73. Big difference between ‘72 and ‘73. Didn’t see the missing fender skirts. The later model wheel covers look ok on it. Not so sure about $10ish, but it seems to be in pretty good shape all the way down to the vinyl interior.

    The 1973 Monterey could be had without factory rear fender skirts.

    Yeah but that one is missing the wheel opening moldings on both sides which makes me think it had them at one time.

    Yeah, he's got a point. Only way to confirm is to feel inside the opening for the pinnings that hold the skirts in place.

    Definitely a '73. The '72 had a more pointed front end.
    Here's a brochure page showing one with the skirts - definitely available.
