    75' virgin no more

    Hi people, bad news, just the other weekend, we were on our way to a car show and while waiting for the light to turn green, and when it did,we got rear-ended. Luckily I had taken my foot off the brake, so when we were hit at around 3 to 5 mph the impact was minimal.

    My original 48K 75' rear bumper split in a couple of places. Nobody got hurt and none of the fibreglass panels nor the rear bumper shocks or under supports were damaged.

    I'm waiting for a new eurathane bumper.

    The strange thing is, they say " most accidents happen about a block from your home ". It happened. And by someone who lived across the street from me. Go figure.

    I was so glad it was just the bumper.

      Ken,

      Sorry to hear of your accident.
      It's been a number of years ago but when we had our "rear ender" with our 75 we discovered it was a 1 year only design rear bumper. If I recall the corvette letters set in recessed pockets in the bumper and the replacement bumper does not have that feature. Just a flat area like the 76.

      Good luck

      Randy
