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 |

Amco made them and provided them aftermarket. In those days, many dealers were looking for anything to make a little extra money on the sale of the 914. Amco also made rear chrome luggage racks the matching front bar shift knobs and a (fairly nice looking) plastic console for the cars.
