Looking for a pair of painted steel bumpers is top condition. Looking to backdate my ‘75

Jim - I've always LOVED your `75 Copper with the big bumpers, since it's a color & look that really works well! Maybe reconsider this move to not backdate it.

Plus you have a bit more low speed impact protection with them, than with the backdated ones.

And if you're absolutely fixated on backdating, then IMHO it would look better in chrome bumpers.

I can say this because one of my `73 2L's many paint schemes was Copper with chrome bumpers (with front tits), along with it's original L80E & several other colors over it's first 12-13 years! LOL

Unfortunately I don't have a pic of mine, but there was another former owner/member's `73 in the same copper with chrome FYI - if you want to search for it with googling, I'm sure it's still on here.

Here's a copper `75 one backdated to chrome bumpers from the Werks Reunion virtual site FYI - which will give you an idea of what yours would look like in chrome bumpers (mine looked similar, but with the front tits).

But again - My bigger IMHO is keep the black late bumpers on yours, since it looks good, & is safer. It just looks good, & best to keep it original as a one MY color too, I would think. IMHO this just looks sleek:

Now what do you really want to do with yours!?

PM sent. Your car would look great backdated. IMHO.

Answered all PMs; thanks for those offers. I will be following up...

do it jim!!! Tom there are probably better pictures of my car than that one from Werks reunion, funny you found that from my virtual page! i can say i never got complements before the bumper change. with that said i get the safety issue and maybe a creative person could figure out how to attach nice chrome or steal bumpers to the shocks?? i have another front bumper with the tits on it and have thought about running that one when i am not going to shows etc just incase i get backed into , would give a bit more extra protection and not ruin the beautiful original early one!

Jim did you look into the stainless steel ones?
@jim_hoyland

Stainless is definitely an option; I'm thinking someone may have bought a set and decided not to install; that would be optimal....

I have an NOS primer rear, that would chrome plate nicely. I've also got some re-chromed bumpers, but not sure exactly what I have, so I'd have to pull them down and see. Shipping is always an issue though, I'd expect it to cost $100 per, from TN to Cali Feel free to PM me Jim

I have an unusual opinion on the later bumpers. I think the front one nicely adds shape to the front of the car, and not a fan of the rears. Not a fan of the extra weight either
