Finding a STRAIGHT 240Z bumper is a challenge in itself, much less one with nice chrome and /or rubber strips as well. If you were to find one that nice, expect to pay $400-$500 at least.

A much better alternative is to go with the fiberglass bumpers from MSA. Cheap enough and can paint to suit. Or if you do find a straight bumper but in need of refinishing, grab it and consider powdercoating. Runs about $75. Rechroming a pair of 240Z bumpers can run in the $800-$1000 range not counting replacement rubber.

Also, the '73 bumper is slightly different from the '70-'72.

FWIW.....

I know and appreciate the advice. I had the fiberglass ones and decided to go the chrome route regardless of price. I just think it looks better on a dark car for contrast. I never plan on selling this car so its a long term investment.

yeah I am aware of them and actually got the black dragon front 260 bumper I plan on making a bracket to fit properly. I just need the rear.

See examples of it installed properly

There's a 1971 240 in a nearby junkyard which had the bumpers left on it last time I looked. Guess I should swing in there and zee if they've been taken yet or not.

Did you see this in "Cars and Parts For Sale, Trade or Free" on this Forum?

Posted: Fri Feb 08, 2013 10:54 am Post subject: 240z parts car (whats left)

Photos show entire rear bumper intact and looks decent.

Good luck,
Chris

It's a nice day today. I'll swing into CHICK's and zee if that Z still has a rear bumper or not (I know we took the front one 2 yrs ago) and snap a picture of it for you, assuming i can reach it in this snow. If it's there, do you need the mounting brackets too?

I'm not going in there dressed to pull car partz in the snow; I'll just get prices and pictures today.

Thanks that would be awesome. The brackets all depend on what kind of shape they are in. If they fall apart I can always make some or get some on ebay or something. Thanks again.
