cuda rubber bumpers

i had these about 30 years and I'm never going to use them are they 70 or 71 ? originals or repros ? any info is appreciated thanks

The bolts look too shiny to be originally installed. And I seem to recall there is a part number and Chrysler logo molded into the underside. For a time in the 1980s-90s, there was a shop in Los Angeles that would restore bent and cracked polyurethane bumpers, and if these are indeed 30+ years old, they may be original but restored.

There value has dropped some, since they started making reproduction ones. But there is still a demand for these, so you shouldn't have much trouble selling them, regardless.

The bumper supports are different for the rubber bumper.

Here is a picture of a '70 front rubber bumper on a '71. You can see that the bottom does not align with the lower valence and obscures the turn signals.

Here is a 71 bumper on a 71. Note the fitment to the lower valence. It is my understanding is that the reproductions are of the '71's when can be trimmed to make it a '70.
