painting the 75 76 bumpers the same color of the car would make ANYONE hate them.

That poor car needs some love for sure. Lipstick is how I would classify the paint on the bumpers. It sort of distracts you from the rest of the issues. Is it just me or do I see bubbles under the paint on the driver's door handle recess? That one wheel cylinder is leaking a lot. And though there are a lot of pictures (good) they are all mostly poorly taken photos that don't really show a lot of detail. The hell hole and the rockers really need to be inspected. But hopefully an informed buyer will do a thorough PPI so there are no surprises.
