    Question I have 3 old bumpers from the 60's/70's......any help would be appreciated

    I have the pictures on my computer and phone. Tried uploading them on here but am having issues. Her husband passed away and was looking get rid stuff out of the garage.
    If I could text them or email them to someone that would be great. I'm wondering what cars they could be from.



    Thanks
    Joe

    Alright! I love a good mystery! And I love old cars so I can't wait to see them. If they are not all bent up, I can pretty much guarantee they will be worth more than scrap value. I'll check on this thread later!

    If they are the right 70's bumpers, they can be worth a few bucks to the demo derby crowd, even if they are dinged up. If you find out what they are, I cantell you if they are worth money to my crowd. You can bet that almost anything 74-78 Ford & Mopar, or 73-76 GM will be worth something to us.

    Lol.....I really have no clue C4, MDG is going to let me know tomorrow. I sent him a picture of them and said he'll let me know what the are for sure. They are in great shape though. Surface rust that's about it. One still has the supports and the other one still has the ambers screwed in. Besides I think shipping would be a little pricey to CO. I don't really have the storage for them as far as long term holding goes. I know they are worth more than scrap, just don't know exactly what I have.

    ScrapperNJ --- Sorry, I cannot help on these bumpers; however, I will post the pics for others to see. I would say, put it on Craigslist and ask $??? for 3 of them. See what happens.





    Good Luck.

    Lol...I didn't mean for me. Most folks don't realize the demand for good strong derby bumpers. I bet there's 5 derby guys looking for bumpers within 100 miles of you at any given time. The ones pictured are older anyway....but they will be nice for project cars...hope someone takes them off your hands for ya.

    I know lol. Figured that would make you laugh. Thanks Easy, I'm not really familiar with the classic car arena. I really don't have a clue as to what styles go to what cars or anything of the like.

    If you look at the photo...it looks like the ones you have...if you have true 1966 Cadillac you are looking at some GOOD money Around the $150 to $300 mark for each one.

    Well, I'm stumped. After looking at pictures for an hour I've got nothing. They're not from a '66 Cadillac. The Cadillac bumper is much more defined than these and doesn't have the bolts coming through the front like these do. I can tell you that there is one rear and two front bumpers (duh) and I'm pretty sure they are Buick. I looked at a lot from 1967-1971 with a lot of them being close but not exact. Maybe I didn't look hard enough. They are definitely pre-1972 though. After that, the government mandated bumpers to withstand a 5-mph impact which meant almost all bumpers had those big ugly bumper guards or a rubber strip running around them. Are there any part numbers on them? Or the mounts? That could help. I'll keep looking...maybe I'll find a match. These are in good shape though. You should make some money on them!

    Might be 68-72. Front and rear bumpers on the 73 & 74 Rivi will be fully boxed.

    Can you ask the widow what type of cars he was into? Might even have photo albums hanging around.
