Definitive or at least what I know… the bar above was a factory installed bar. I have one on a 67S, don’t recall it being listed on the kardex. Pretty sure it’s stainless also. The Amco bars were an aftermarket chrome part and drilled into and between the bumperettes. And then rusted! Rather ugly add on to “protect” the hood.
I will add that both bar styles make the hood latch less accessible.
In regards to safari or not. It’s your car, do what you like. Cash out reward is a gamble on modified. Color change is always a debate. Mods have the same debate. Long run…stock original is the blue chip. The argument will be but this car, that car and several others brought big money. Go fish! It’s a big pond and life’s short. I have also warned customers, modifications have ramifications!
I’m finishing a 73T overall now, leaving it sepia and black bumperettes front and back. Only mod is a steel based ducktail that I make, and can be easily swapped back. The next owner can make that call.
I built this , great challenge and fantastic memories including east to west coast and back! From a 94 C4…my drive to work
Utah…
Big Sur…
