Need Glove Compartment GS Emblem
« on: February 22, 2015, 10:37:10 PM »
I'm mostly into 64-66 GTOs (as my username implies) but stumbled on a 65 GS in the TN hills that seems to be all there but missing a few things. It seems most parts are available except the "GranSport" emblem on the glove box door.
Anyone have one in decent condition? -or- where might I find one?
Willing to buy the whole door if necessary

That small emblem has a fairly big $$ to go with it.

I would have to look in my box of emblems and see if there is an extra.

Loren,
Thanks - let me know if you find one & what you need to have - doesn't need to be perfect.
wonder why  no one has repoped those - kinda funny looking dash with the holes
it's a nice driver but prob not going to do a full restoration, just upgrade some stuff & put a top on it & drive it while finishing my 65 GTO Convert.

I will look for what I have.
Probably not reproduced due to need. They don't get exposed to the elements like the exterior emblems.

Hey Goatsaver...  I have this one... the door hinge area is a bit rusty but BOTH emblems are still pretty decent!  How about $56 shipped.    :thumbsup:

Emblems just push in. Carefully pry them off a nice piece so as to not scratch the paint.
