Jack Hooks/Bumpers on original S/Cs

Hello everybody!

I'm new and have a quick S/C originality question. Were any S/Cs delivered with the street type bumpers (don't know if that's the correct nomenclature, but you know what I mean) instead of jack hooks?

I am in the early stages of deciding to build a Cobra and I would like it to at least represent a "could have been ordered" car even if not an exact replica of a specific car.

On the flip side, did any street cars have a comp dash, side pipes and roll bar at least installed by the dealer if not from the factory?

Thank you all VERY MUCH in advance!

Street cars would not have come with comp dash layouts. Many street cars have been "S/C-ized" over the years with side pipes and roll bars...
..I am not aware of any cars that were outfitted that way as new, from the dealer... but I wouldn't be surprised to find one. ;)

Thanks a lot Ron. I've more or less decided on everything else, just not sure about this one. I really like the clean look of the overriders and am about 50/50 on the inclusion of the hoop bumper...it's a touch of class, but may be a little showy for me.

If I knew that just one S/C was ever delivered with overriders, I think that's what I would do.
