I have 3 old bumpers from the 60's/70's......any help would be appreciated - Page 2

Kinda looks like a Wildcat (Buick) bumper to me, don't ask me the year right now tho.

Yep that was the closest I came up with too. 1968 was my best guess. All the pictures I found weren't clear enough to be a definite though. I'm thinking the two bottom bumpers in the first picture are from the Wildcat and the top bumper I'm not sure about. I thought Nova when I first saw it.

I did ask her when we picked the stuff up, she had no idea. I am going to take them outside and take pictures of them separately. If I can email them to someone to post them on here again that would be great.

Hey ScrapperNJ --- you can use this link in a Craigslist Ad:

Bumper 3

It is upside down, I couldn't flip it the right way because of the supports

Any one check early 70's Monte Carlo???.........your bottom photo looks right for the license plate.....

Is that better????

Got it! Man that took me forever. What you have is two front bumpers and a rear bumper to a 1966-67 Chevrolet Nova. Both years used the same bumpers. Here's some pictures for verification:




All the bumper bolts line up with both sets of pictures and the shape is right. I'm certain that these are a match. I can tell you that these cars are popular to restore or resto-mod (as evidence by the pictures) so you should get some decent money for them. As far as I can tell they are not damaged or altered and only have some surface rust. These would be good candidates for re-chroming so throw them on ebay or Craigslist and see what happens!

I'm impressed flguy...you know your cars !!!

Thank you Dee! Cars are pretty much my life behind my family. I've loved them ever since I was little. Just so everyone knows, if you ever come across an old car or part you can't identify, you have my guarantee it will keep me up at night trying my best to figure it out. This certainly did for a few days!

Great job Forwardguy!! I think you nailed it!! The ChevyII was one of my favs , I really like the body lines on this car and cant believe I missed that!........

Great Work, ForwardGuy!!! Now, maybe ScrapperNJ can sell those things for some cool cash.

Thank You so much!!!!!!! I've been checking on Hemming's for hour's on end and couldn't find anything that close. I've spent around 6-8 hours looking around.

I'm glad I could help and I have to admit it was fun. Let me know if she has any other mystery parts!

Hopefully she'll call me back when she gets the rest of the garage cleaned out. Also picked up 300 lbs of steel and 160 lbs of aluminum awnings.

I put an Ad on Oldride.com and have sold 2 of them. The front one with brackets and lenses and the rear one with brackets. $250 each and they are on their way to Florida!!!

Thats beats the 10 cents a pound from the scrap yard... Awesome find

I needed the break lol. I could use the money. Been out of work for 10 months. I can finally fill my gas tank and try and keep it full....it'll be about $90. Then pay the rest of the insurance.
