Jack Hooks/Bumpers on original S/Cs

[Justin Shaffer]

Hello everybody!

I'm new and have a quick S/C originality question. Were any S/Cs delivered with the street type bumpers (don't know if that's the correct nomenclature, but you know what I mean) instead of jack hooks?

I am in the early stages of deciding to build a Cobra and I would like it to at least represent a "could have been ordered" car even if not an exact replica of a specific car.

On the flip side, did any street cars have a comp dash, side pipes and roll bar at least installed by the dealer if not from the factory?

Thank you all VERY MUCH in advance!

The S/Cs were leftover Comp cars and as such, came from AC with quickjacks. I am sure you could have ordered bumpers if you wanted... Many original S/Cs, in pictures from the 70's, have the overriders and hoop bumpers replacing the quickjacks.

Street cars would not have come with comp dash layouts. Many street cars have been "S/C-ized" over the years with side pipes and roll bars...
..I am not aware of any cars that were outfitted that way as new, from the dealer... but I wouldn't be surprised to find one.

Thanks a lot Ron. I've more or less decided on everything else, just not sure about this one. I really like the clean look of the overriders and am about 50/50 on the inclusion of the hoop bumper...it's a touch of class, but may be a little showy for me.

If I knew that just one S/C was ever delivered with overriders, I think that's what I would do.
