I'm not sure what this bumper fits, can you help please?


It's been rechromed and looks like they did a nice job. I'm in Tampa and need to find it a new home.


Thanks for any help!

It looks a lot like a '66 GTO bumper.

Yes ‘66 A body.

Looks nice. Wish I could afford it!

I had originally thought it was for a 66 GTO but got the impression it was to wide for an A body so must have been a 65 or 66 B body. This was many moons ago. Looks like I'll need to revisit this with some measurements if no one recognizes it to be a B Body bumper.


It measures 65 inches across at the bottom corners.

Could be 1962 full size Pontiac.

I see a difference. The '62 has a raised area coming down along each backup light. The '66 is smooth there.
I just measured my rear bumper. '65 from bottom corner to bottom and exactly 70" from top corner to top corner.

Thanks all for the help here!


I took measurements of max width on the upper corners most forward when mounted on the car and came up with 72.5 inches.



Center of the most rearward upper corners and see about 70 inches.


Greg, sorry I'm not familiar with your cars. What car did you get your measurements from?
