For sale is a beautiful, rechromed rear bumper for a '65 Catalina and other full size Pontiacs. I had this bumper rechromed with the intention of installing it on my '65 Catalina, however this bumper has back up light holes and my car's original bumper does not have holes. I'd rate this bumper a 9.5 out of 10. It was rechromed at a very reputable place here in Long Island, N.Y. and it is a high quality, show worthy bumper.
I'm asking $1,100.00

What did it cost to have replated?

I would be taking a considerable loss on this bumper. Before the economy tanked, I made the deal with the bumper guy to rechrome my front and rear bumper. I'm reluctant to say the exact figure but I am taking a big hit. The front one, being larger, is even more higher priced, but I'm keeping it and plan on selling the one I now I have on the car. I made a poor decision, but I have to move on. Both bumpers though, are really nice.

Bump. Upon closer examination, I rate this a 9.8, not a 9.5.

If it is that nice, why not keep it and just find some back up lights and stick in there. Who cares if they work or not.

My car was not ordered with back-up lights and I'd like to keep it that way. Thanks, Peter

How does a 9.5 differ from a 9.8?

0.3 and 0.2! Haha. The piece has so few flaws that when I unwrapped it to look at it again, I now feel that it's very close to being perfect. If I wasn't so determined to keep the car as original as possible(no back up lights), I'd keep this one for sure and unload the other. Thanks, Peter

Still available. Prospective buyer strung me along for two months and I couldn't take it anymore!
