69 Endura Bumper Originality Confirmation
I'm looking for additional confirmation as to the originality of this mint Endura Bumper. I believe that it is original, but it helps to get someone's knowledgeable opinion / experience also.
It was just removed from the car today, so I was able to see it mounted and it fit like a glove.

It's an original but may not be original to the car. In production, only the face was painted. Cars built with the VE3 bumper had an adapter riveted to the jack loadrest, usually painted blue.
Just for the record, Chevy did not use the 'Endura' trade name in marketing the bumper. It is listed in factory documentation as Special Front Bumper; the showroom brochure refers to it as 'Color-Matched resilient bumper'. The Canadian brochure refers to it as the 'Astro' bumper.

Did these get painted after being installed on the from clip? I would expect a different paint would be used.

I have another one that was original paint and the back is black not body color nor was there any sign of over spray.

I will stick my neck out and say it is a real GM piece. I go by the injection mold plug right in the inside center of the “V”. And I will have to look, seems there is some overspray on the backside (mine may have been repainted at one time, though?
