The things you find when you're not looking for them
Permalink  

As I may have mentioned before, I'm getting the 68 2+2 re-framed this winter and I've been
picking up many of the parts needed for the project (sending unit, mounts, gaskets, rubber bumpers, brakes etc.).

While browsing Kijiji I came across a 68 full size bumper that the seller claimed was NOS and never on a car.
I suspect it was on a car for a little while as the bottom bolt holes are a little warn, but other than that it looks NOS.
It even still has the part number sticker still on the back.

It's not as perfect as a freshly re-chromed bumper, but it's very close. And best of all, the price was a fraction of a re-chromed bumper.

Summer can't come soon enough.

 Like I said.no fish..no golf..no hunt. How much is a fish boat..then fuel.. then moorage. Also saftey ..flares VHF etc etc. Golf membership??? Hope you have a GOLD card..... and at the end of the day....we still have something we enjoy.  And  when we want we can still sell it...

The fella that I bought this bumper off of, mentioned that he also has a 72 or 73 Lemans frame for sale as well as
emblems for a 327 Beaumont, if anyone is interested.
