Need a '68 or 69 Coronet RF Fender. Does no one make repros?? Anyone know where to get one?

I can't believe it but I backed into my Coronet with my daily driver while backing out of my shop in my yard. Coronet is always in the garage except today and I forgot. Dammit. Hit my RF fender fairly badly. Was looking at my options. Can't find fenders online. Is that really the case? If so I'm going to need a metal magic man to fix what I have. Really bummed.

Nobody made Super Bee fenders either... or I'd have had new ones on mine during restoration

I stand corrected. I was on my phone and see they were all Charger or RR fenders coming up not Super Bees.
I know I have seen a few members parting out Coronets so start a want to buy thread. Shipping may be high $'s

The headlight buckets are different between ‘68 and ‘69 too. You’re better off to find a used one for the proper year. Good luck. There are a bunch of high-priced junkers out there. Or you can go with fiberglass.

Which year preferred - 68 or 69? I don't personally have one but could ask around. Shipping would be spendy - not sure if "Ground", or if have to be "Freight". Gainesville bone-yards?

69 is preferred. I already started moving the bent metals with my feet. Definately more than just a big dent / crease and push back, but pretty sure a good body guy can get it back if I can find one willing to accept the case. But if I also knew I could spend a few hundreds on a repro that at least would quench some of my fears here. Thank y'all for chiming in. I am not alone. Back to feet work to at least get it looking fixable.

Get to Carlisle early this year and you might find a single or a pair.

I could use a left fender for a '69. I've saw a few on the auction in the $900 - $1400 range. I will probably hone my metal working skills on my existing fender.

Start a parts wanted thread here. I bet someone will have one. Shipping is the worst part. Swap meets are the best. Do not offer parts for sale here. That's what wanted threads are for.

Don't see it mentioned but marker light holes are quite a bit different.

Funny how "Super Bee" fenders are worth more than "Coronet" fenders.

...although I will concede that "real" Super Bee fenders don't have any trim holes.

68 and 69 Coronet fenders are quite different. Not only is the side marker different, but the headlight panel, and hood adjuster bracket are different between 68 and 69. It's quite involved to convert from one to the other
