Where can I buy a 1970 Chevelle rear bumper?

I finally have the time to work on my 1970 Chevelle restoration, but I’ve never done this before and I’m not a pro. The rear bumper on mine is all rusted out, and I need to replace it. Where can I find a 1970 Chevelle rear bumper?

Restoring classic cars is a great hobby—that’s awesome that you’re finally getting to work on yours!
Since you’re working on a
Chevrolet
, you can start by looking on the Chevrolet original restoration parts website. This page was developed specifically to help people complete classic Chevy restorations with original parts.
If that’s too expensive (we get it), or you prefer the thrill of the hunt, you can look for a 1970 Chevelle rear bumper at a salvage yard in your area. Unfortunately, the 1970 Chevelle rear bumper is not exactly interchangeable with any other year. You can use a bumper from 1971 or 1972—the fit and the contours are the same—but the taillights will look different than the original 1970.
Another option is to get in touch with other classic car restorers. Join a group or a club, and you might find people with the parts you need or the knowledge to find them.
Once your 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle is ready to drive, you’ll have to insure it. Luckily,
classic car insurance
is less expensive than normal car insurance. If you want help finding the best possible price, download Jerry.
