my car starts and it has AC. Yours doesn't start and it has no AC. Seems obvious to me.

Where were all these NOS bumpers hiding? Sudden rush of them.

Yeah. My 87 Vic has the narrow mgm bumper from new! It is off as it does not match the grill spacing but that is the way she came. I’d say if one is in need of a bumper any type would pass as most would never notice.
I also have no idea about rears.~David~

This is the difference between Ford and Mercury bumperette/guard placement:
As noted, 87 Ford gets the Mercury one for some reason - the only reason that makes sense to me would be excess stock being projected during the previous year and knowing it was all going to change for M/Y 88.
All of those bumpers are excellent finds, and while priced out of the range I'd pay, aren't actually too crazy when you consider shipping is included and there aren't any cheap repops being made to compete with them.

Well, I took the dive.
I haven't come by anything for a rear even in semi decent shape. All those are bids and not a buy it now price.

Good luck. I am no competition. Luckily I have grabbed a nos smooth rear bumper for the parts hoard a number of years back.
was an eBay sale but with a local pick up only in Pittsburgh. At the time we had a freelancer that had lived near by and he happily picked it up for me.Last edited by 87gtVIC; 06-12-2024, 03:20 AM.~David~

Man... you really don't see them come up often, that smooth one has the holes for the bumperettes which mine does not have. and its far from perfect.
Which one did you bid on Grand1?-Phil

Well got it.
Its going to be for my vic (after a paint job)at some point, probably be in storage for awhile, but don't think these will pretty much ever come up again. It's gotta be close to three years since I have seen one on ebay.
There are some minor scuffs but the one I got (no horizontal pads) it looks more than decent, at least from the stuff available around me.

Congrats on the bumper. I don't think I've ever found a perfect rear 79/87 bumper in the yards. Most are rusty, even here in moderate climate central Virginia. Bumper rechroming is closing in a being a four digit cash deal last I heard.1990 Country Squire - under restoration
