new purchase
I just bought my 1976 L-82 4 speed with 11k complete with build sheet & window sticker. Its is a unmolested car the only thing is the rear bumper is cracked & split. Should I replace the bumper or would that detour from it value? I also need to value it for insurance, what value would you put on it? It has been kept inside so its perfect in every other way.

Sounds like a nice car - - suggest you replace the bumper with an OEM bumper - - same kind that came on it and have it painted before it's put on the car.
Value? Whatever you paid for it - - -you can pick a higher value if you're willing to pay the premium I suppose or have a professional appraiser give you a value.
Pictures would be nice? Good luck-

Congratulations and welcome to the Forum. I can't really help you on the bumper as I don't know much about the rubber bumper models, but if it's cracked that won't help the value. I would think you should get it fixed. You should also get collector's insurance with a stated value policy. First, get a professional appraisal, then you can go from there. Good luck and again, WELCOME!

I hear alot about Bloomington Gold is something I should or could consider? And at what point should you look into that? Is there a cost & a place to get them looked at? I will try and get pictures in the next few days as I am going to SEMA show next week.
