FS: Front Chrome Bumper
Was on a 1970 car. $800.
This is a super, super nice chrome bumper. It has the factory holes for a license plate that we need here in California. $800. FOB at my Plastic Shop in West Los Angeles
I do not know how much it will cost to ship?

-----Beautiful bumper, wished I was closer, GLWTS!---
It will cost $$$ to ship, guaranteed.
Cautionary tale that dovetails into another post about properly packed items. I take great pride in (over) packing things, saving refigerator boxes and stryrofoam to custom fit boxes to the items using hot melt glue, tape, strapping tape, etc. to insure (as much as possible) that they arrive in good condition. I sold a decent bumper to an ebay buyer several years ago and shipped it FedEx ground. The buyer refused delivery and I was puzzled why. After I recieved it back, about 2' of the cardboard was "accordian-ed", like a forklift had rammed it into a wall. I was "WTF???!!!" Their response was " item insuficiently packed. too bad!!" I vigorously disputed their response, they still replied "TS". At least my credit card company took my side and refunded my shipping charge.

Well, I pack the shit out of things. If need be a custom box of double wall thickness of Burton Plastic non used masters. Thick clear tape and reinforced strapping tape. Things can still screwed up.
As of right now, I am not going to make a box for it and pack it up because to be truthful, I am really not up to that for the next several days. One of our fine and bumper shiping members may give us a size and weight of what that bumpber may be and we could find out in an easier way for me right now.

I can attest to Bob B's packaging!
Bumper would be harder than a steering wheel but still not impossible.
I'd use scrap plywood inside of the box for strength and insure the crap out of it.
The 930S steering wheel was suspended in the center of a strong box with tons of plastic foam around it. I think it would have survived a 50-foot drop!
YHM thanks.

Beautiful bumper, Bob
I won't ship large/heavy and long items any more due to the high cost of shipping and the propensity for damage as others have stated.
I'll hold off advertising the freshly show-chromed front & rear bumpers I had set aside for 'HOWARD's restoration until your's sells
Hi Ken,
This front bumper was on a 1970 914-4 I bought and resold. There was a small dent in it, and I had a plater redo it and when it came back it was not 100% so they striped it and redid it for me to this level. I do not think that you will find a better one out there. Its too bad that you are not close buy to look at it in person. My email is. Sent by PM send me your email and I ill take more pictures and send them to you. It is really a nice one.
If you are not happy with it, I will give you your money back.
I have a very solid reputation on 914world

Looks like it’s worth every penny.

-----------------Hi George, ----------------------

Ken,
Lets see what happens with George on Thursday. If he does not take it, I will send more pictures and a vid and send to you
Thanks all

Hi Bob, I was actually ready to buy this based on our PM conversations, but was just waiting for the shipping cost from you, especially since I was first in to inquire. You had mentioned about sending more photos, and I'm good on that too. My day job & meetings just gets in the way from replying as promptly as possible, but I'm still ready to close this deal.
Thanks,
Ken
Bob,
PM where to meet, Lets say around 10am unless you want a different time.
George
