Post by: shuffln on November 12, 2016, 06:42:57 AM
Ok so its almost impossible to find a 77-78 rear bumper in canada im wondering what else everyone used for the rear bumper. Maverick , custom , etc.  Let me know ive been searching over a year and a half.

Fairmont bumpers were used by mini-stock racers. No idea what year.

Just looked on ebay and there are three presently listed, all in Northern part of the USA.  For the two used ones, you would have to cross the border to pick up.  The more expensive NOS bumper seller say they will ship to Canada.   Have fun with your build.

only prob 2 out of the 3 wont ship to canada and the third is $378 cnd not including shipping, duty, and taxes, brokerage.   thats at least a $500 bumper by the time i get it here .   buying in the USA with the exchange rate is crazy around $1.35 canadian to $1.00 american.

I sell lot of Pinto and Mazda parts to people in Canada that have a mailing address across the border in the states. Some have a friend there / some just have a box. Works for me.
