Is This A 1970 Caribou? What Did I Buy??

I agree that you have a 1969 hood. The crest on the front seems to be the smaller one used with the "V" in 1969. I may be mistaken, but it appears that the crests on the leading edges of your front fenders are upside down.

If they are, it is kind of an eccentric touch by your car's creator.

Overall, I really like it.

Yup. Some yutz mounted them upside down.
I'm hoping to address that too.
I'm actively looking for a 70 parts car with good front fenders but they all rot in the same place.
I Googled 1970 Front fender patch panels and something came up from USA parts.
They have lower front fender patch panels for $119 a side. Seems reasonable.
Anyone have any experience with these ?

Brian,
I've seen them upside down many times. Pretty stupid!! I think you'd be hard pressed to find good fenders in 2018. What's the condition of your fenders? Are the braces solid?

I think the inner braces are ok.
Probably going to get the patch panels.
