    Hey Folks,
    I'm looking for a driver quality (best case) or a good straight core front bumper for my 'Lark. Now, I understand these are few and far between, which is why I throw it out to you all. I know they are out there at a premium, if you want to spend it, but it's just for an old race car. I have a good set of 'glass front and rear bumpers I'd like to get rid of.
    Also, since the front end is apart I'd like to fix the hood release linkage from the latch down. My latch is good, the rest is cobbled. Any out there?
    Located in NE Ohio.
    Thanks

    I recall the 70 handle is different from 71-2.

    There is some reason to believe that The Parts Place may be releasing a reproduction bumper.

    You are correct, the latch is a one year only for '70.
    I saw where Parts Place was advertising front and rear bumpers, but requiring a core which leads me to believe these are re-chromed originals. Still, around $800 (without a core) is steep for a race car with limited street use. Thanks.

    I have 3 here but as luck would have it they're all the 71/72 style.

    I do have the handles if you just need that. (New or Used)

    Thanks Todd, my handle is good, it's the rest of it that's cobbled. Mainly due to the stamped steel bracket being gone and the cobbling starts there!
    Hey, on another topic, I've been looking for some bolts and have looked at your sets, but I don't see much stainless, do you have an intake bolt set in said shiny metal? I'm also toying with the black phosphate look, since the heads are on ARP's and black anyway. Just trying to make up my mind......
    Thanks!

    I don't have much in stainless. Most of what I stock is factory type stuff. The intake bolts I have are black phosphate.

    Let me know if I can help with anything!

    Lots of parts added to the site for 2019!?

    100's of new items added to my website in the last couple weeks!! We have an account with "The Parts Place" now and although I won't be stocking ALL of there parts we have most of them that they offer for Buicks except for some that we don't feel should be on the market. Many items below the Retail Prices also!!!

    So yeah, 100's of Restoration Items now offered at D C Muscle Cars!


    Let me know if I can help with anything!
