Looks like '73 or earlier to me. As far as I know the only unique long-hood front fenders were for the RS, ST, and some of the other unobtainium racing specials.

From the photo it looks like a SWB front fender, minimal/no flair, so yes.

That's a swb fender, correct up to '68. Most likely a pre '68 since I don't see any fender marker holes but they could have been filled in. Incorrect for '69-73 due to lack of flare. I've bought two of these in the past few months and paid $400, and $450 for each in similar condition.

That's a '68. One year only. Early turn signal housing. Sugar scoop headlight mounts. Tapered inner lip.

Just one other point I noticed to confirm what the others said -- that wouldn't work on my '69 because the area for the directional is closed in the back. In my 69 that area is open.

Yes.^^

More importantly, the opening for the turn signal housing is narrower on a pre-69 fender and, consequently, the opening for the horn grille is wider. Replacing one fender on a 69-73 car with one from a 68 would look odd even if you put in the correct signal housing and horn grille.
