Bumper bar?

[Racer-19]

what does one "officially" call the trim bar that was on the top of the front and rear bumpers of the early Z?

Oh, yea, I have an AWESOME rear bar sample. If it was much better it would have to be perfect. One small dent, great chrome... it does have broken bolts in the center mounting holes, but anyone can fix that...

yes, you will probably see it on the For Sale board, like a lot of my other goodies:stupid:

Remember, tomorrow is Friday, watch out for those kiddos coming and going to school!!! Drive carefully.

I have those chrome bars on my 75z. They were an original option for that year and were called "overrider bars" around these parts.

my 78Z has those as well, front and rear, but I dont know if they were origional or added before i got the car...but they sure do look neat

They are listed under 'Dealer Installed Accesories' in the 1978 showroom brochure as Bumper guards (front and rear). Also on that list were, Factory mag-type wheels, Air Conditioning (which would be the dealer installed ARA system), CB radio, AM/FM stereo (cassette or 8-track), rear window shade, side moldings, smuggler tonneaus (I'd like to ge ahold of one of those!), side stripes, floor mats, racing mirrors, and shift knobs. The only 'factory' options in 78 were the 5-speed, the automatic trans, and factory air (on the coupe).

For the early cars, AMCO was a leading aftermarket supplier of parts like bumper over rider bars. Here is a picture of an AMCO add in a 1970 magazine.

I actually have everything you listed except the over-rider bars
