I am new to this board; my father and I are starting a restoration of a 1972 (he is the second owner) that he parked in his barn about 24 years ago. I have a question on the chrome bumper bars that are on this car. Were these a dealer option, or do you think they were added aftermarket?
   Thank you very much, Nathan |

Yes, Dealer installed Amco Crash Bars.. Amco is generally known for Chrome Luggage Racks for British Cars. My 914 had them from the Dealer. They do grow on you.. Looks aside, they do provide a service. Mine saved the rear of my car in 74, when a Buick G.S. backed into it. It saved the rear lights and back fascia. The G.S. rode up over bar and sat on trunk lid. Trunk lid was trashed,But the rest of the rear of the car was fine. As an aside.the Buick was stuck in place which helped because people told me he tried leave the Scene but he couldn't get the cars apart. I bought a new pair on e-Bay a few years ago and will put them on when I decide on Bumpers.. They would also protect the expensive Bumper tops. Guess it is a matter of taste, looks wise.. |
