rsperegrin1 Posted April 14, 2013 Share #1 Posted April 14, 2013 Hello,I pulled the 5 mile-an-hour bumpers from my 1975 280z and mounting hardware. I don't want them. I'm not familiar with the market. Are these worth trying to sell or just trash them?Thanks!Robert Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/46270-bumpers-market-for-or-not-75-280z/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveJ Posted April 14, 2013 Share #2 Posted April 14, 2013 If they are in great condition, you might be able to sell them to someone trying to do a restoration. I wouldn't bet on that, though.

mgood Posted April 15, 2013 Share #3 Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) If you still have the little 1 1/16 round plugs that go over the bolts on the side rubber piece for the back bumper I will take those.

FastWoman Posted April 20, 2013 Share #6 Posted April 20, 2013 Don't trash anything! Give them away, if you must, but don't trash them. Some people actually like the 5 mph bumpers and feel they make a 280 look like a 280.

sblake01 Posted April 20, 2013 Share #9 Posted April 20, 2013 (edited) Some people actually like the 5 mph bumpers and feel they make a 280 look like a 280.That's how I've always felt. When I had my 78 I also had 2 complete spare bumper sets including the rubber. I didn't pay a lot for them; they came from the junkyard and were in excellent condition. When I sold my car, I gave the spares to a friend who had a 77 and he put one set on his car and sold the other for $300 (or so he says).

FastWoman Posted April 23, 2013 Share #10 Posted April 23, 2013 Black Gold, if only you had the rear! (Mine is corroded from exhaust acids.)Regardless, I'd be interested in adopting the front set if you'd be kind enough to ship to me. I'll of course gladly pay shipping.

black gold man Posted April 23, 2013 Share #11 Posted April 23, 2013 I will look into shipping I would think 100 bucks easy. I might have a sale of one end . I will get back to you on that Fastwoman.
