Bumper guard's

where the guard's special order. I know my charger had them. I don't see them on other 69 car's.

They were optional, but could be had a number of ways, Front Only, Front & Rear and ordered as an accessory package over the parts counter. They were mostly found on GTX's and Satellites and Sport Satellites, NOT many RR's ended up with em. Here is some pictures and the correct placement of them.

That is what I thought. Thanks for the picks. How do the bone's look on the car. Around the back window is the worst area. As well as the floor pan's. Look's like the bumper's will clean up. Russ

Hey Russ I think that some Ford’s and a few Chevys had them especially up north cause when it broke down your hands would not freeze to the bumper later they added heated bumpers

I dunno know about your area but around here the rear bumpers on the Fords and Chevys simply fell off LOL we used to joke that when they sold em new that there was a pair of bungy cords in the trunk for later down the road you used them to hold up one side or the other of the bumper...True story many back in the day had the rear bumpers held up with bungy cords...

The Mopars rear bumpers did not fall off...BUT many A-Bodies and a few B Bodies turned in what we affectionately called "Leaners" LOL when one side or the other of the torsion bar mounts let loose...in some cases you had "Dual Leaner" which gave the funny car look going down the road...bobbin along off the lower front control arm snubbers...and even better when the rear frame and trunk floor rotted out the rear leaf springs would come thru and poke into the trunk sometimes up to the deck lid LOL...these were called "Shooting Stars". I remember a buddy and I bought a Gold 67 Barracuda fastback 273 Hipo 4 speed it was rotted to death(dual leaner) but ran like a raped ape. He was setting on one of our freeway exit ramps waiting on the light(with me behind him) and he did a Grand Holeshot taking it up and dumping the clutch and I swear to you must of left 5 pounds of rust and dirt and metal on the ground...it was Hilarious!!!

After seeing the pic's with the bumper guards think I will leave them off. Don't see cars with them now day's any way.
