I have never heard of these: Porsche 914 Amco front and rear bumper bars.

Those are what came on the 914 that i have. They are mounted by drilling holes thru the bumper. I guess you know what that does to your bumpers! RUST RUST RUST. I thought they looked kinda cool till i saw what they did to the bumpers.

I have seen them on several cars. My college room mate had the 911 version on a long nose. |

Jawja,
They were sold by the Porsche+Audi dealers back in the day, as were the AMCO cloisonne licensed Porsche Crest & shift pattern shift knobs in Walnut & Leatherette covered .... at a significant mark-up to the $5 which you could mail order them directly from AMCO (I have an old 73 magazine with that ad in it somewhere). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Jeff Bowlsby has an excellent listing of the accessories available for 914s back in the 70's, as well as a bunch of other great info at his website: http://bowlsby.net/914/Classic/Accessories.htm Pix of Dealer Accy Brochure from 72 MY from that site -      The ad in my magazine ^ the ad in my magazine is more generic for many makes' crests. My 73 2L had the AMCO leatherette wrapped Porsche crest shift knob on it when I bought it in late 75, which the OO/PO had gotten at the selling dealer, & you you see them on a lot of 356 > 911/912 & newer P-cars. I've always liked it much better than the OEM knob, but need to find a new NOS one for my resto. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
