Hello All

I have a 74 rear bumper if anyone is in need of one. Good price free! I’m only a few miles from Oscar so you can save on shipping.

Hey Oscar, I'm in. When will you be out here again? PM me so we can get together for payment, etc.Kent

Hey Nacho, I'll take it!


Thank you
Tyler

I have cores here in Colorado .... but they are not pretty

I'd hate to ship them out and find out it wasn't worth it
Ideally I'd find a front/rear core local to you Oscar... buy those and join the deal

Nacho, I could buy the one posted above from you... fill the 74 holes, and then I'd only need to find a front. Is it a good candidate?

I have 2 black front 73/74 front bumpers that I don't need. They are in relatively good (repairable) condition. I will get pictures of them tonight and post them here. Free to those who need them, just pay shipping from Portland to CA.

Greg

Pictures below.

Very nice of you Greg.

Hope someone can benefit from your generosity.
Thanks to Oscar for helping me out for so many years.

Hi Kent-

My next visit is next Sat or Sun. Let me confirm, I'll text you. Nice to hear from you.
Maybe breakfast w Rudy at Richies diner again???

Oscar

I saw that thread, those came out great. I'll take you up on your offer but it will have to be later. I need to finish 914#1 before throwing money at 914#2

Nor Cal Bumper PU UPDATE

Two guys (retired employees) are picking up a car for my brother in SAN RAFAEL tomorrow late.

So if anyone wants to send down some bumpers give them lunch money and they'll bring them straight to me.

PM me to coordinate.

Oscar

Props to Oscar!

Hey Greg, can you PM me the pictures? Thank you for the offer I would love to take you up on it.

Front bumper pictures added in post 55 above.

I have 2 early rear bumpers and a front late bumper prime for restoration. I only need the front bumper and want it chromed, so I am motivated to sell one or both the rear bumpers and use the $ to pay for the front bumper chroming..

Also, I was wondering that with Okteenerfest coming up and so many 914 owners being present if we couldn't ship several bumper in a crate to ship by truck and share the expenses.

I just shipped Ben 6 bumpers for another project. $180 total = $30/bumper. 70 lbs. Not bad. When I ship the 4 to Oscar (mine and Dion’s) I should be able to use small boxes instead of medium.

I updated Post #1

PM me of any changes or errors

Oscar

Anyone have a lead on a front bumper that they can deliver to Oscar?

Thanks

Oscar-

The pickup in San Rafael didn't work out this morning- not enough advance warning to drive from my house to San Rafael. Looks like I'll be shipping them to you.

I did have a question: one bumper has a couple notches cut out. Can the bumper shop fill these? I could weld them myself but am not sure if they'd prefer to weld it a certain way or with a certain filler rod:

Depeding on your reply, either four or five bumpers will be heading your way soon.

Hey Karl-

I do have this front bumper I did 4 years ago...very nice and shiny but not concourse.

I filled tit holes, lic plate holes and notched the bottom to match my GT valance.
Rigidity did suffer but otherwise just fine.

I'll offer it to you for $200 including shipping. Should you pass I'll offer it to others on this thread.

Let me know...

Carl-

I don't have donor pieces to patch and my concern would be warping. Once I repaired a similar bumper and it came out ok but not worthy of putting it back on a nice 914...driver, maybe.

Sorry, I'd pass on this.

Oscar

Front bumpers listed in post 55 are going to Oscar for tyfighter123.

Got it...

I want it if op passes. Thanks, mark

Oscar,

I will take it.

Thanks,

Karl

Oscar, your offering is the best..Thank you!!..I have 2 rear chrome bumpers..
I will email you my pics I took this morning...

Sure thing.

Phoned chrome shop and updated him on quantity of bumpers coming his way, he said he can handle ours with ease. His wife recently had some medical issues and is at home recovering. He said he won't let us down. He is thankful for the unexpected business we're bringing him.

Oscar, #1 - I don't see any mention of when or where to make the deposit/payment. #2 - If someone has an extra front bumper to sell, LMK. I cut my opening for the radiator a little too large and would like to have another to cut with a smaller opening. Therefor it doesn't need to be perfect. TIA, Kent

Hey Oscar, I'll be delivering that front bumper we talked about today to your house soon, certainly before 9/14.

Thanks for doing this for our 914 community. When this bumper comes back, I'll be selling a pretty decent front chrome bumper with no tit holes.

I believe I covered deposit on Post #1.

Kent..How about 7 or 8am breakfast next Saturday at Richie's Diner?
I will invite Rudy. I can get bumper(s) then. PayPal for deposit please.

@curbandgutter

I will be digging my bumpers out tomorrow.

Hey Pete-

I'm driving back from Sacramento this afternoon, so far I have several bumper pick ups in OC for tomorrow. I know it's labor day but I still work. Let me know if you want to meet half way somewhere.

I'm reaching out to Don-6 too maybe I can swing by and get his tonight.

Oscar

@valcooscar I’ll be there.

If anyone needs a core rear bumper I have several for $75 each. I am close to Oscar and can deliver saving the freight to ship yours.

Can you swing by Torrance on Monday ?

I could meet you at Torrance Airport.

I might have three bumpers now.

I would love to get in on this adventure. I have 2 black bumpers that need to be Chromed. I'm in Monterey, anybody driving south? If not I'm sure I can ship them by the cutoff date.

PM sent

Oscar

Fyi...

I picked up these from a central valley member.

All 3 are candidates for option #2

I am delivering a load of core bumpers to Oscar today. So far I have at least six rear ones available. Asking $75 to $125 for decent cores depending on condition. I have one early square corner type. I will sell it for $300.
Choice will be based on order of requests. Please post here or send a PM to me. Payment is required upon agreement of of the selection. I will not hold without payment. I have had too many cases where I hold a part and the buyer backs out
We will rank the bumpers on condition and if they fall into option 1, 2, or 3. Issues will be marked with paint pen.
Pictures will be posted here or you can email me at bdstone91@aol.com.

I will take one of those. Let me know how much and l will send $. I want no tata holes. Now just to find a front donor. Anybody got one they want to sell.?

See what they charge you to ship it. They sometime charge extra for a non standard shape. They do not tell you outright what the charge breakdown is.

@Morph914

Hello Bruce,
I will take the rear early core (@ $300) and a later rear nicer core (@ $125), if they are still available? let me know and I can PP the funds.
Any chance that you have a front core available?
Thanks!
Danny

Oscar, depending on what Bruce has available, I will get on your list and send the deposit(s). Thanks!

Sounds good. Your call on the time. 7 or 8 will work.

dropping 3 bumpers to sir Oscar this morning.
