I have a spare bumper for my 72 RR that I want to sell and want to know how much to ask for it.[/b]

To answer your question more info is needed. What shape is it in? Can you post a picture? I paid $100 for a good core that was very straight, I sent it out to be rechromed.

I went to the Pomona Swap meet and there was this company:

Their worked looked good to me, I have heard both good and bad about them and 71 bumpers were in the 200 range. Might give them a ring and get exact price. I dont have the flyer with me as I am at home for Christmas. I can verify exact price later in the week.

I bought my bumpers from Tri-City Plating and they cost me a total of $700 for both of them. Depending on what shape your bumper is in, you should easily be able to get at least a $100 for it because someone could use it as a core. Without my cores, my bumpers would have been double what I paid for them.

Funny you shoud say that,I went to Carlisle to meet the bumper boys.They didnt not show up so Instead I got my bumpers from tri-city for 350.With core exchange.

P.S. where are you in PA?

I am very pleased with my bumpers from Tri City. I think they are better than the Bumper Boys... just my opinion. Mopar71, I actually picked mine up at Spring Carlisle. I am close to Lancaster ( about 40 minutes outside of Reading)

I have actually been going to the Chrysler show for the last 5 years faithfully. It just worked out that when I ordered my bumpers, they had them ready for the Spring show. I am hoping to have enough of the loose ends tied up that I can take the car this year for the first time. We usually go for the whole weekend.
