Front Bumper Guards

[RdChicken]

This last weekend I went to a MoPar show in Milford, MI. I ran into a guy that worked for the Walter P Chrysler Museum and he wanted to buy the front bumper off of my car. My road runner has the holes in it for the bumper guards, from what he told me they were rare. After talking to him I went around checked out all of the 69 road runners, there was about 10-12 there. After walking around none of them had bumper guards or the holes for them. I was told the code for the bumper guards was on your build sheet and not on your fender tag. Unfortunately I don't have my build sheet, so I guess I wondering if this meant that my car is supposed to have bumper guards or not? I'm just looking for some information on the subject because I don't really know. It has been fun learning some thing new that I didn't know and might make my car a little more unique.

Interesting...hopefully someone can shed some light on this...

If it's the original bumper and it has the holes then they are for the "bumperettes"......my A12 has the front bumperettes and I still have them in a box......how much did this guy offer you for them :think: ....(wouldn't sell them anyway...but just curious, another odd thing on my A12 :facepalm: )

The guy was offering about $250 and is not a show quality bumper. The chrome is peeling off but it is straight and it's the original bumper. He said that his bird is suppose to have the bumper guards. He has to pay some to modify a bumper to get the hole for the guards thus the reason for trying to buy mine.

M81= front bumper guards M83= rear and M85= front and rear. But yes you need a broadcast sheet. If it were me I would have him buy you a new AMD bumper it trade. :yesnod:

I have them on the front but, my broadcast sheet says I'm not suppose to.
Send the guy up here. I figure two grand and a case of beer should complete the deal!

I have never looked for a part # on a bumper but he may be the type that's got to have it. That means we would have to get stamps to go with the drill :jester:

send him to me!! I've got the bumper off my last car, and it had the bumperetts. needs rechromed, but it's straight.
when I was putting my last car together, I bought the front and rear bumpers from two different people, and they both had the bumperetts.
did I mention send the guy to me? I'd even trade him for a nice driver quialty front bumper.
