I've never seen this brace before. Was it standard? Is it still available?

looks like good skid protection to me, albeit not much.
Porsche taste on a Volkswagen budget...
Believe that's to protect an AC condenser (?) . . .

Ahhhh the sixties... I envision myself one early Saturday morning wearing plaid shorts, black shoes with white socks smoking a cigarette heading to the hardware store to buy a bag of nails.
SWB cars are an acquired taste however once acquired theirs no turning back.
72 T w/ac has one too..........cliff

”What would PORSCHE do”
67 911 de Luxe, 356 B silver metallic / brown interior, ( buck skin really ) 67 PORSCHE [ built ] 912, Crystal blue, black interior, 72 T, Silver metallic/black interior, appearance group,factory AC.
This is interesting. It would seem to be one way of ascertaining if the A/C was factory installed. My '73 had a dealer installed A/c system and never had the protective bars.
What could be interesting is when the owner claims he has factory air and these bars are missing.
Most judges deduct for aftermarket parts. A dealer installed a/c system would fall into this category.

Richard, there's about 50 different ways to distinguish Behr A/C from aftermarket.
Night and day.
BTW: The protective tubes were not on all Behr equipped cars.
