    I've called the fiberglass shops and they only offer a 70 rear bumper. Down at the NATS I saw two cars with a 71/72 looking rear bumper. One was Wayne Roberts car and the other was a driver that I saw on the grounds.
    Wayne has his painted around the tail lights to mimic a 72. I've been in touch with Wayne and the previous owner of his car and neither knows where it came from. If anybody has some info on this I would appreciate it. Would love to find one for Brutus.
    I may post this in the bench as well to get more traffic.
    Here's Waynes car.

    I would think if someone made one at one time the mold would still be around.

    I am looking for a 71 fiberglass rear bumper also . Not having any luck either . VFN was not interested in making one . I did see a 71 fiberglass front bumper for sale at the Nats . It was not a VFN bumper . Maybe WS racing ?

    The Riverview, Fl place is US-Body Source, per their website they only make 70 front. It don't look like they make rear ones.

    I believe the 71 was made by ws racing best I can figure. They no longer make parts. Owner passed I believe.

    Yes, Walt passed a couple years ago. His son doesn't do parts,I've tried to get with him at the shop to see what Buick molds were there and if he'd sell them.
