Re-chromed rear bumper for '72-83 Avanti II

[Pete Rutledge]

I bought this re-chromed bumper about 4 years ago at Reedsville, PA.  It was intended for my '64 Avanti.  Because of the paper covering most of the bumper, I didn't realize it had the holes for the rubber bumperettes used on the '72-83 Avanti II (I'm not sure the vendor was honest in selling it to me, either -- I told him what it was for).  It's been stored in my house since that time.  I coated the bumper with Butcher's Wax to protect the chrome (that's why it doesn't look perfectly shiny in the pix).  The chrome plating is excellent.  But I can't use it.  I paid $600.  Asking $500.  My loss can be your gain.  I don't really want to ship it; if you're not too far away, I might be able to meet you part way.  If interested, please message me.

Good Morning Pete - Checking to see if this bumper is still available and to see if the above price is your best price.  I will be making my way through Woodridge the morning of 26 March and afternoon of 28 March.  I am reworking RQB-3616 and would love to see if we can work something out.

Thanks & Blessings - Don

Do you have any current pics of the bumper that you could send me? If so, please send to bobbyoliver8396@gmail.com

Hi Bobcat,

Here are some pix.  If you need more or better pix, let me know.  The surface doesn't look shiny in places because I applied a coat of Butcher's wax to the bumper to protect it while in storage in my basement.  

Thanks,

Pete

Pete, I am interested in getting that bumper. And trying to work out getting up your way from Raleigh, NC.

Okay, that would be fine.  Let me know when you would be able to come.  I will send you my address and contact info by PM.
