Regal with a Canadian Bumper - for sale in Pittsburgh area

[see2xu]

The U.S. DOT rolled back the 5 mph rear bumper impact standard in 1982, to 2.5 mph, but Canada retained their 8 km/h-5 mph standard until 2009. Some models came equipped to the higher standard in both countries, others were built to the more permissive U.S. regulation and sold that way in America. I can't speak specifically to the '86 Regal, but the differences weren't visible, the ones built to the higher standard used the same bumper, just the structure underneath was beefed up, and only the rear bumper was affected.

In '86, before daytime running lights, the only other differences were metric gauges and Canadian compliance labels.

5 hours one way for a primer-mobile? Are Regals that scarce up there?

Cars that don’t need frames or panel replacement are.

So a missing bumper is now referred to as “Canadian”?

I never heard of this. Hence the question.
Perhaps those Canadians are known for missing bumpers or something. Doesn’t seem to be popular in this forum, but who knows

Weather sucks *ss anyway, might as well spend the day doing something other than raking leaves at 35 degrees in 20 mph winds.

We're more noted for missing quarter fenders, floorpans, and trunk floors, thanks to our national symbol - the salt spreader.

Paid too much, but main body and fenders are great, frame is great. The Pittsburgh street and property that we picked it up at - absolutely f’ing ridiculous.

Was close to having a moment of mayhem. Drive home was unbelievably TERRIBLE. Never been in Summit, PA and not interested in driving there again in freezing temps in the rain with a car trailer.
