Correct bumper jack...

[Rolling_Thunder]

Well I finally found my original bumper jack from my Charger - It was grey mechanism and base. It still has that funky little "caution when jacking" sticker on the base too...     I am going to throw it up on E-bay but I was wondering if you guys think I should restore it first (paint it blah blah blah) or put it up as is?

Also - is the Charger jack used on other models? Or was it Charger only?

68-70 Charger only & a restored piece brings more $$ IMHO

Ah - OK -   sounds like that's the plan then.   

Anyone know the average selling price? I searched here and saw people saying anything under $300 is a good deal.  opinions?

if it still has the original sticker toss it on ebay for 300.00 and it should sell find with you having to touch it

I personally would prefer "patina" over restored perfection.

Throw a couple of pics of it up here. I'm still trying to find the proper base to fit my jack. The jack I have that came with my car does not fit (wrong shaped opening) into its accompanying base.

Haha -  it went from questions to people wanting to buy    haha         

Let me just verify - the pole is netural metal colored and the mechanism and base are grey.

Nope, not wanting to buy.    Just post pics of the end of the jack and the base so I can see which piece that I have is wrong.

The base should be black on a 68. The rest you have right. Im almost certain of it , but not 100%

I'm not buying either. If I happened to find one at a yard sale for a few bucks, I might grab it. Until I reach the "more money than brains" stage of my life, I will not be spending $200- $300 on something that I will never use.

Hmmm -  my base was grey and it was an early production car (Oct 1967)                Oh well - it is what it is.

I'm with you.  I need one but I'm not paying those stupid prices in todays market.  I have other bills that come first.

What do these things go for, typically?

[Ghoste]

All over the map really.  If you are at a big swap meet and there are several of them they seem to be in the hundred dollar range, on e-bay they go plural (hundreds).

What is the date code on the mechanism?

Too much effort. The hydraulic floor jack that has been in the trunk since late '86 still works just fine. I think I'll keep it.
