Title: WTB GS Front Bumper
Post by: freddie.zee65 on December 29, 2015, 11:27:41 AM

Looking for a good real 65 GS front bumper core for re-chrome. I have a skylark bumper but want a real GS. I would be interested with brackets and park lights or without.

Anyone ?

Thanks,
Fred Z.

Skylark and Gran Sport front bumpers are the same.

The Special front bumper is different then the Skylark/ GS front bumper. The parking light opening is smaller width on a Special front bumper.

Fred,

If this is about the bumper I sold you a few years ago, it is a Skylark/GS bumper.

Wait a minute, that was a grille - sorry! My memory is getting sketchy...

Hi Mark. The grille worked out great. You don't have a bumper stashed away somewhere do you?

Thanks,
Fred Z.

Fred,

I have a spare, but it is in horrific condition. Front bumpers are near the top of the list for hard to find 65 parts.

Hi Mark. Thanks for the reply. Maybe you can tell me what is different other than the park lights? It is not beyond my expertise to cut 2 bumpers up to make one nice one. If yours is not completely rusted through, it might be doable. My special bumper is pretty good.

Thanks,
Fred Z.

Fred,

No difference other than the parking light openings. The center section of this one is a mess.
I'd post pics, but I muscled it up in the rafters for the winter. I'll try and take some shots this weekend to give you an idea
of the condition.

From Marks message he doesn't think he has a good bumper. So if your guy has a decent one, I would surely be interested. I would take it complete with lights and brackets if possible.

Thanks for the help.
