what bumper is this?

Hi Guys,

What bumper is this? It looks like an IROC bumper, but is this car a long hood or a short hood? Because it looks like a longhood, but with the turn signal housing deleted.

Anyone have more pics of this bumper or this car? perhaps from different angles?

Thanks a lot!
Adam

Its a long hood car but not sure of the bumper. Never seen one like it before. The turn signal lights appear to be the amber lights on the lower corners of the fenders.

A longhood with filled horngrills. Will wonders never cease.

I've never seen a bumper like that before. Probably an aftermarket piece.

Sorry mate.
I wasn't trying to pick on the Aussies and yes, there are some bizzar things done every where.
I remember seeing a nice old Corvette running around (in Perth) and it had been turned into a 4-door.
It looked pretty strange.
As for the green car you posted, I think it looks great except for the vertical slots.
Any more pics?

the turn signals are 911R (from an NSU Prinz originally) placed on the outside corners of the front fenders (look closely at the pic again)

the spoiler bumper is a custom piece- maybe a kremer supplied part back in 73/74?
seen pics of the car before- pretty aggressive looking
