Actually got rear ended by a old Ford 4x4 at a stop light when his accelerater stuck. The shocks and rear bumper did exactly what they were designed to do and the only damage was the over hanging trim lip on the 280. I was impressed if it had been any of my other cars I woul have had a Ford 390 hatchback conversion.
If you go a fiberglass bumper for looks there is no reason why you cant put 3/8" plate steel underneath. I guess I'm just a wimp as far as safety. I drove a volkswagen bus for to many years and never got used to the idea that the only thing between God and I was a spare tire.
