Clois I think he means this:

Unless that was sarcasm, then I'm an idiot.  |

No sarcasim at all I just didn't know. I really thought he was refering to a full horizontal bumper.

Raceral,
Found a site in AU specifically concerning authenticity. I don't know how accurate the info is. Appears to be a CC member.
http://users.pipeline.com.au/bryanw/...g_an_authe.htm
"Bumpers + o/riders or Quick jacks
427SC Only the SC had quick lift jack points - note the direction of mounting. The S/C had no bumpers.
Finish: same explanation as for the heat extractors.
427R Overriders and bumpers were fitted front and rear - same as AC289
AC289 Same as for the 427R."
"Grille - air splitter
427S/C The S/C never had a grille or air splitter
427R There was no mesh covering the "mouth" but it did have an air splitter - same as AC289.
AC289 Same as for the Roadster."
Hope this helps,
Jim |

These were an accesory marketed to protect the vulnerable leading edge of the radiator opening, and the area between the uprights on the rear of the car. I believe AMCO was the vendor. They also made softops and plastic side windows for the various varieties of convertables on the market in the 60's & 70's. They were very inexpensive at the time.
