Newbie Group: Members Posts: 3 Joined: 4-January 11 From: Broomfield, CO Member No.: 12,562 Region Association: Rocky Mountains	I have two 914 early chrome front bumpers for sale. I do not know the history on them, as I received them from my dad. But I believe they were removed to do a bumper conversion on an early car. The first is absolutely near perfect condition and the chrome looks like it never saw any road use. Asking price is $650 plus shipping. The second is very good condition and a very almost unnoticeable dent that would be covered by the top rubber cover. Also, the dent could easily be knocked out with a rubber mallet. The bumper has one other very small dent on the front. Other that what was mentioned it does not have any other dents or road damage, the chrome could use a good polish though. Asking price is $500 plus shipping.

I suggest that you take some time to actually clean up & polish both bumpers to show off their true condition, cuz they don't show well as they are now, & then do some better hi-rez pix so we can see what they look like. Also #1 has obviously been used, cuz you can see the dimple at the right license plate mounting hole from the screw, & you can see the outlines of the washers or backs of the front bumper guards "tits" at all 4 mounting holes inboard of the fog light cut-outs, etc. Not bad, I'm just sayin'!..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Also, these were only on the 73 & 74 "titted" 914s, since many equate the "early bumpers" to the 70-72 "titless" flavor. Thanx & please PM me if/when you have better pix of the cleaned-up #1 (i.e.: when you get time with work & all). Cheers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom ///////

Group: Members Posts: 8,318 Joined: 19-March 09 From: Orange, CA Member No.: 10,181 Region Association: Southern California	(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Okay - mine is a 73 & needs the tit holes - so I'm next, but I do need to see more & better pix of that #1 cleaned up, cuz that's way too much for a core that needs to be concours level triple rechromed for another $800-1000+!! Ottherwise, if not concours quality you might reconsider your price as a very nice DD quality. In either case, you should revise your ad title to 73-74 Chrome Front Bumpers - from early ones - so you don't confuse people needing or wanting the 70-72 ones with no tit holes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) PS - FYI, my son is posted at Ft Carson/Colo Springs not far from you, so there'd be no shipping involved, as he'd just pick it up for me & drive it here the next time he comes home on leave. Unfortunately he's neither a 914 guy nor a perfectionist CW, so he can't look at them & tell me if they're CW level! So I need to see them cleaned up in hi-rez pix! :shades2 Ball is in your court OP..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

Not my "pretzel" bumper Rick, it was pushed in too much when that gal pushed the 914 into the wall & column back in 85, to get a clean straightening! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) And due to the CalEPA et al, it runs about $800-1000 to do just the concours/show quality rechrome on a very straight & clean core. However, if this guy can't be bothered to even clean the splatter & dribbles + dust & dirt off them, it may not be worth my pursuing any further! Lotsa "core" 914 73-74 Bumpers + Bruce's stuff etc. here in Sunny SoCal!!!! IIRC sending it out of state & the cheaper costs there may make sense, but then I can't check it in between plating levels for flaws - especially that they get the initial copper layers baby's bum smooth! Soooo......????? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Thanx for the input though! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom ///////

If this guy ever looks at his ad again & does anything worth pursuing it, then I'll take you up on that very kind offer! I'm not holding my breath, & as Rick & a couple of others have pointed out on here - he's probably overly aggressive on his price, so who knows!? Also, my son has wheels - that red 88 Honda Civic DX that we did a rolling semi-resto/refurb on in 08-09 which I posted in here back in 2009-10-ish. So he can probably get up there to meet you on a weekend to & give your son a lift home if he needs it! This is also a funny quinky-dink - being the 2nd 914world Teener who had links to his post! Last one was Andy - Scarlet914 up at Ft. Drum NY! Small World! Hopefully all is well with your son coming out of Liberia! Best Wishes! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom ///////

We had a group buy a few years back and I had a set of bumpers repaired (rips and holes welded up), straightened and chromed for $650. Maybe you guys can organize another group buy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Click here
