Condition:For parts or not working Placement on Vehicle:Left, Right, Front, Rear Warranty:No

For sale:  Collection of C3, 1968- 1973, Corvette Bumpers: 3 Fronts, 18 Left Rear, and 14 Right Rear (35 total).  These are being sold as one package.  I will not separate.  I am obviously looking for those that restore/rechrome bumpers or have a Corvette restoration shop.  They are the remains of several Corvette Salvage Yards here in the Midwest that are no longer in business.  There are no Chinese bumpers in this pile.  See my other listing for 1963 - 1967, C2 bumpers.

Condition:  Very Important to Understand.  These bumpers are being sold as CORES.  In my opinion, there are some driver quality bumpers in this pile but most need to be restored to show condition.  A few are bent, many are corroded, some have holes drilled in them, and some have some sort of combination of these issues.  Companies like the Bumper Boyz in California can save these bumpers and return them to show condition.  Some of the rears are good enough to simply send to a shop that does chroming.  But, many of these need to go to a shop that can also straighten and weld bumpers.  These are in better condition than the 1963 - 1967 bumper cores I have in another listing but are still being sold as cores.

Price: I am asking $35 each ($1,225) plus shipping.  The companies that sell restored bumpers require at least a $100 core charge each.  My best guess is that all of these would be accepted as cores by companies that specialize in restoring bumpers.  Obviously I can not guarantee that.

Shipping:  It would be best if they were picked up here in Nebraska (near Omaha).  I get a serious discount from UPS Freight and can get you a quote from them.  And, if paid for in advance, I will deliver free of charge to the Bloomington Gold Corvette Swap Meet in Indy that starts June 23. 

 

 

 

 

Marvel’s Captain America car by Daniel Simon [w/Video]

Tue, 04 Sep 2012

Automotive designer and futurist Daniel Simon has had his vehicle design from ‘Captain America: The First Avenger' featured in a short animation. This 10-wheeler 1942 supercharged V16 Coupe, the personal car of Marvel's villain Johann Schmidt (the Red Skull), is 7,620 mm long and was inspired by cars such as Mercedes' 540K and the G4. The director's instructions for the car's size  led to a truck chassis having to be used for the practical film version.

New options make Prius pricey

Mon, 02 Mar 2009

High-tech features and luxury options will push the redesigned Toyota Prius into new territory--namely, $30,000-plus. The 2010 Prius hybrid will offer options found on luxury cars: systems that automatically park the car in a parallel parking space and slow the vehicle when a crash is likely. But Toyota is aware of a new competitor--the 2010 Honda Insight, a hybrid that is a little smaller and expected to be less expensive than the Prius.

Lexus GS (2012) the first official pictures

Fri, 19 Aug 2011

This is the new Lexus GS, which has just been revealed at the 2011 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in California, USA. Presumably the new Lexus GS is clean and green? Well, yes, but much of the official Lexus press release is filled with phrases like ‘improved driving dynamics’ and ‘packed with innovative performance’, but no mention is made of fuel consumption or emission figures.
