Is a crusty 69 Coronet bumper worth anything, or just scrap it?

Big Bad Dad · Apr 23, 2021

I'm cleaning up around here, and been giving my scrap metal buddy a bunch of stuff. Almost sent a 69 Coronet front bumper away yesterday, but remember seeing posts about people looking for bumpers to re-chrome. This one is rusted and bent a little. I dont really care to try to sell and ship something like this, but hate to scrap something someone would really need. Is it worth keeping and placing an ad?

People probably won't be able to make a decision on that without seeing some pictures of it.

Give it away if you have to before destroying it

Your would be amazed at what some people will fix up. One man's junk is another man's gold.

If the bumper is heavily pitted from rusting, very likely once it it is dipped, very small pin holes may come visible deeming the core as useless.

I've seen pits, holes and cracks repaired with brazing, the bumpers looked good after plating.

It just depends on how far it is gone. Had inner outer frame rail on my car was in bad shape and found them from a guy in Washington state. He needed the bottom parts at the wheel well's. About 8 inches and I needed the rest from sail panels on. Only used the driver's side the passenger's side was good. Now that I have a Tig machine you can fix a lot of metal to like new. But if the rust is in the metal platelets. It might not be worth trying to fix. Well just my two cent's on the subject.

Never throw away any old car parts that can't be purchased new. advertise it here.

use it for wall art, or in this case work bench art.
