I had a FY1 Lemon Twist with factory Elastomeric bumpers. Not sure about other colors.

I believe the nine colors are as follows:

lemon twist
tor-red
vitamin C
lime light
in violet metallic
sassy grass
moulin rouge
white
black

Nice work 4C. I've never seen an e-body with white bumpers. (must be like the proverbial 'white elephant'!)

Well I know there was 9 colors available for the painted bumpers and that was my best guess.  Not positive that is correct though . . .

I think rear bumpers on 70 cudas were never elastomeric... I may be wrong, but I think elasto rear bumpers were only in 71...  although I have one on my 70!  (looks too weird with one of each, IMO...)

I had alway heard that the rear elastomeric bumper was only available on FE5 Rallye Red colored Cudas in 1970...  All other colors, like my FY1 Lemon Twist Yellow Cuda were only available with front elastomeric bumpers.  The front bumper was available as a separate option or as a option with the painted dual mirrors.

However, Product Information Bulletin #8 (Dated Dec 15, 1969) states the other 8 colors would have rear elastomeric bumpers available starting with production dates of Jan 5, 1970...

The 9 elastomeric bumper colors were:
FE5 - Rallye Red
EB5 - Blue Fire Metallic
FC7 - In Violet Metallic (same as Plum Crazy Purple)
EF8 - Ivy Green Metallic
FJ5 - Limelight Green (same as SubLime Green)
FK5 - Deep Burnt Orange Metallic
EW1 - White
TX9 - Black
FY1 - Lemon Twist Yellow

I have seen several White cars with original elastomeric front bumpers.  In fact the front elastomeric bumper on my FJ5 Limelight Green Hemi Cuda came off of a White car...

My boss owned a 70 Hemi Cuda that had a front rubber bumper in white.

That is what I heard too.  My FE5 Red 1970 has both front and rear elastomeric bumbers.

Not in 1970 though, as GY3 was a 71 color.
