    I lucked into a front bumper I can just use as is on my wagon tonight. So this one is extra. Not split, not rusted out(some surface scale) but I am sure there are dings and some straightening needed. Not as nice as I would want, not as bad as a mangled or missing one. Don't want to ship, but will if you don't need super fast service - Greyhound? I am sure it is 100 bucks to ship using fedex or UPS nowadays.

    It would be better if you are local and can stop and check it out. Price is bare with no brackets but I have a set that will have pits once you clean them as they are from Minnesota for extra if you need those too - I am keeping the rustfree ones though.

    Have it posted on Craigslist too - one guy stopped out to look at it hoping he could just polish it a little and have it look good on the car, talked me down to 50 bucks, said he was running to the cash machine and then never came back. Two people contacted me but never came out or emailed back. Sick of moving it around my garage. I almost threw it in last week's crush car because I have 2 more cores in the same type of condition in my bumper rack but I didn't. Or I would sell the bumper, brackets, marker lights, a 70 skylark plastic parts grille and a set of 14 x 6 rally wheels for $160 pickup only. Otherwise the bumper and wheels are going in the recycle pile. Done saving stuff I am never going to use.

    $50/trade for 70-72 flat roof A body wagon interior plastic C pillar trim that is not chalky or brittle, mint sportwagon quarter emblem, black or tan sport steering wheel horn button, 2 cases of Grain Belt Premium Light, etc.

    Where I live they usually have rust holes or are split in the middle - I have 2 bumper racks full of cores and don't know what else to do. I have a finite amount of space.

    I have nice sets for both my 70 Stage car and my 70 Sportwagon plus 2 more cores that are extras. I have at least 2 cores from each year 68-72 fronts and everything but a 70 rear bumper in the stack. I just want to make some of it go away because I have moved it 5 times now and I am getting kinda "stabby" about it.

    Stacy MN is an hour from me.
    I can pick it up and transport to BG if you guys want it.

    I've got some nice SportWagon emblems. I believe I took them from a 71 wagon. If we could pick up in BG I'll pay Mike for his involvement....

    I can meet Mike somewhere too - I work in Forest Lake and can meet halfway. I am in on the emblems - bumper trade

    I am looking for a couple of unbroken emblems that still have some shine to them - I expect a few pits of course but the fewer the better. All of mine are broken except one that has no shine left to polish - it looks like it is a galvanized nail. I refuse to spend 150 bucks on NOS ones

    I believe you'll be happy with these emblems. I'm trying to attach pictures for your review. Do you have a rear 70 bumper available by chance?

    I've got other pics available if you'd like to see. Looks like I need an email address to send to none of the other pictures will load here. All mounting studs are in tack.

    They look good to me, Steve. I don't have an extra 70 rear bumper core - sorry.

    Mike - I am interested in this bumper! (IF still available)

    Would you be coming through Eau Claire ?

    I will be driving through. I might even be stopping by to get a seat from you, for delivery.
