But what if I'm wrong. Would hate to go through the repercussions.
You were "in the ether" when u bought it. Or
"He put a hat on you", as car salesmen say
Ask me how I know
You nailed it!!!!!
Want to thank everyone for there input and time. Never thought it would go this far. I feel comfortable about the results.
How did you dig this up. Your amazing.
Now to find a box
Thanks, Google is yer friend for the most part. I typed in "63 Valiant bumper", then select "images". 1st link/image that came up was the FABO listing by Lee.
I was on google but did search for 63 Valiant. Thought bumper was too specific but very wrong in this case. Thanks again. Now will work towards swapping out for Barracuda bumper. Regretfully will not find NOS bumper so the chrome will not be as good.

Good aftermarket chrome is better than anything I've seen from the factory.
You could post for a "trade". Win/win.
Guess I'm going by word of mouth and not experience. Heard the aftermarket chrome is not as good. To have a bumper chromed your looking at upwards of $600.00. We have a high dollar place here in Texas but their good.

true on the look of the chrome.
but bumper fit is likely better on NOS since it’s never been straightened.
problem with the OP’s bumper is what proof is there that’s it’s NOS vs rechrome? Is there a sticker with part number? factory stamp?
I’m pretty sure they don’t repro 63 valiant bumpers. So it eliminates that.
it’s probably worth as much as standard rechrome plus $25-50 core. Minus some if there are any shelf and handling scratches in it.
IMHO, $250-$600 plus shipping… VERY dependent on condition.
An good well placed ad should get some good results. I paid a lot for the bumper initially. May not get it back but who said these cars were cheep. Just so long as it doesn't change my standard of living. Thanks for your help.
Never thee mind. lol
Yeah I think you're right. That is it! And here's the neato thing. They used the same bumper front AND rear.
All very good points especially about reproductions of Valiant bumper. Did not consider that. Hopefully when it's all over everyone is happy.
I'm off to google 63 Valiant bumper again.
I think they nailed hell outta it.
63 Valiant rear bumper.
No mount area for plate. I think yours is a front.

MOPAR .. Move Over, Plymouth Approaching Rapidly!
You are correct. That was the winning car. Now all I need to do is find someone that needs one.
Yeah you're right @cudamark. I think it's the Dart that uses the same bumpers front and back on one of the year models.
