Title: 65 bumper core needed Skylark/GS
Post by: bbbbuick on June 29, 2020, 02:48:19 PM: Hi all,

Trying to locate a solid core to replate. My original was unfortunately damaged during repair by North Star Plating and they are trying to make good. Core ideally is not already a replate so it is thick enough for grinding/plating. Skylark/GS only.

Thanks,
Elvin

I got into a mess with an unmentionable company and paid several times back and forth to CA. I think it may have caused a certain beverage company to post larger profits that year.

Title: FYI - one on eBay? (Re: 65 bumper core needed Skylark/GS)

I would expect that you had already found this ad, but just in case. There is one listed on eBay:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/1965-Buick-Skylark-Front-Bumper/224210364083 (https://www.ebay.com/itm/1965-Buick-Skylark-Front-Bumper/224210364083)

I don't know anything about the seller and they seem to be asking a king's ransom for this bumper, but I thought I would pass it on anyway. It is definitely getting scary how rare parts like this have become.

Hoping that you finally end up with the bumper you deserve!

Cheers, Edouard :occasion14:

Post by: bbbbuick on April 02, 2021, 07:44:40 PM: I got one! I should say, North Star Plating found one in their core yard. It was labeled as a 66. Rechromed and on the car, looks so good. Thanks to all for suggestions.

So glad that this story finally has a happy ending! :angel4: That was more of a struggle that most of us could easily swallow. :BangHead:

Enjoy that bumper as you get the rest of the car put back together!! :hello2:

Hi Les, As of tonight, I'm also looking for a front bumper, preferable a straight driver quality bumper. What condition is ours? Could I get some photos?...if you still have it?

Thanks!

John

Post by: Les M. on June 19, 2021, 10:21:24 PM: John, sorry this took so long. This one is driver quality. I do have pictures but it needs to be cleaned up and it has a small crack on the top of the V. that can be repaired easily. Let me know what you want to do.
Thank you, Les
