Where did you aquire this bumper from? It looks exactly the one from my old 82 that was stolen from me. Even the bluish primer spots are the same. If the bumper came from a guy named Anthony could you please kick him in the gonads for me? I would definately say it is from the 82-84 vintage. It might even be mine since they never found the guy or my car.

I was selling the car to the guy so I put a lein on the title and he was to give me $200 a month for the car. Well, he made the first payment and then fell off the face of the earth. I trusted him becuase he was one of my good friend's brothers so I did not expect something like this to happen. His family does not even know where he went. I called the police but they never found him or the car. He just seemed to ceace to exist. This was 6-7 years ago and they still have not found him.

No I am from Charlotte, NC but I do believe Tony was originaly from NY or at least around there becuase he talked a little like my ex-girlfriend from NJ. It would not surprise me if he did go back up there.

Well that's what I condsidered the stuff. If it's underneath the paint it's primer in my book.
