Does this belong to anyone here? It looked good on the car, I wonder why it's for sale.

I'm in the body work stage on my car and really like these bumpers. I know this used to be a fair price, but have prices been impacted by reproductions? Gene no longer makes them but I know others do. What about the ones goodmark / classic industries used to sell? Are they a good fit?

Thanks in advance!

Gene sold the business to Tommy the Chryco. Quality is the same or better

1970 on a 1971 car, guess that's why it's for sale.

Aha, I didn't notice that until you pointed it out. The lower "Skirting" to match the difference in lower front valance. Good eye!

I thought that was the case, but my memory was foggy

Sticks out like a sore thumb now.

The bumpers adds 50lbs if that's important. I'll painting my spare bumpers same color as my car.

Reproduction bumper from Tommy The Chryco weighs 17 lbs

same pretty much as the originals.

Being in the bodywork stage right now, you have no idea how tempting those bumpers look!

I'm pretty sure I am going to cut and tuck the rear bumper to fit the body lines nice and tight, then paint it. I'm still really contemplating the rubber front bumper though. It just looks so good, in my opinion.

Neat info from our resource library (1970 Service Training Highlights):

With the price of rechroming bumpers the repro Elastomerics really start to make sense.
