Not surprising. I bet there are very few of these around. There weren't many in 1975!

that's a lot of coin for a car that was painted by someone too lazy to take off the bumpers before painting it

If you look at the detail pictures, it is obvious that the car was taken apart when it was painted. If you google images of these cars you'll find quite a few of these cars with painted bumpers. Could it be a factory option, or is re-chroming just too expensive?
I personally think it looks nice.......

Painted bumpers were a factory option, not just on the B bodies but the E bodies also.
BTW: GM, Ford & AMC were doing painted bumpers too.

don't care who all did it
as long as it has the design of a "add on" it should be chrome
if it is designed as a "part of the body" it should be body colored
take for instance the chrome section of a 68 fireturd
that would look better in body color because it is molded to the body
1975- not the most beautiful vehicles hitting the roads that year...that said, those Roadrunners are somehow really charming. I'd drive the hell out of those.
While terrible performing, mid-late 70s cars are pleasant riding and often pretty roomy...a stock 318 2bbl with the right gears might make for a nice (if thirsty) daily driver. All of the mechanical parts are easy to come by...just take care of that body/interior.
