This will be interesting because Gene Gregory was making them for the last two or three decades so a lot of people think his parts are original parts

My brother has a few original cuda ones both for 70 & 71. (sorry, don't have photos) I am pretty positive that there is a difference for the front elastometric bumper. The rear elastometric bumpers are the same for both 70 & 71 cuda's.

As for challengers, both 70 & 71 years the elastometric bumpers I believe are the same for both front and rear.

1970 Challengers never came with elastomeric bumpers  1971 only.

1970 Cuda and 1971 Cuda are totally different to accommodate for the wider opening of the lower valance.

Yes, Alan thank you for correcting me on the 70 challenger.

I'd love to know correct answer. But an original looks like this.

That bumper is a 70 Cuda front, but how do you know it's original ?
Have you owned the car since new ?

As the original poster asked.....How can you tell it's an original ?

[Iowa Six Barrel]

It's just my unprofessional opinion. I'm eager to hear the secret answer. But plate was last tagged in 1990. The Mopar collector I got it from had a lot of original pieces in a storage unit. He advised the bumper has been in storage for approximately 25 years

[anlauto]

I'm curious too

Only the elastomeric bumper fairy knows!!!
