As some of you may know I bought a 914-6 GT clone without an engine several months ago. I've decided to convert to a 3.0 liter and, accordingly, am going to be installing a front oil cooler.



The car I bought has a beautiful early bumper on it, painted black, and the bumper is in excellent condition. I don't have the heart to cut it up for an oil cooler opening since straight bumpers are hard to come by.

I ended up buying a fiberglass bumper and valance with cutouts already in place for the cooler, like this:



So I now have a spare tit-less bumper with a nice bumper pad to sell, but I haven't seen any for sale so I'm not sure what they are worth.

Sorry for the poor quality photo, but here is what it looks like:





The pad is straight with one defect on the corner:



I don't need the LE front air dam either so I'll throw that in the deal. I am going to keep the fog light assemblies, though, for the new bumper.


Any idea what I should ask for this stuff?

I want to do local pickup only, also, for what that is worth...

Thanks for your input.

Rob, 1st you need to clarify your topic title & post. You're asking about a painted 71-72 painted steel front bumper (no tits/holes) & top pad (not "cover").

I've seen so-so quality used top pads at $50-75+, & painted bumpers for about that too - maybe $100-150 or so for both. Sell the used chrome foglight grills separately for about the same price $75-100 if in good condition with no pitting, cracks, etc., since a black bumper should have the painted grills. That's my 2 cents IMHO.

Thanks for the info Tom. I modified the post to reflect the correct nomenclature.

I'm going to keep those fog lights for the new bumper. That is a good suggestion about the color, I think I'll powder coat them black.

PM'd you
