'65 Chrome center AC vent
« on: December 27, 2015, 09:37:16 PM »
I'm looking for a nice chrome center AC vent.  Also looking for the plastic trim piece that the chrome vent mounts to.  If anyone got one for sale, please let me know.  thanks, Steve

I am also looking for the vacuum assembly that mounts onto the plenum in engine compartment.  Its the piece that looks like a 'pie plate'.  The plastic hose fittings are broken on mine.  Steve

That piece is available on eBay from time to time.

Here are the outside chrome vents new reproductions:

The center one is '65 Skylark, Special and GS only. Does not cross over to other models or other years.

Thanks guys.  The outside vent balls look nice.  The vacuum mechanism from Air Parts looks like it has ports for 3 vacuum lines.  I thought mine only had two, but I could be wrong. mine is packed away in box that I likely won't get to for a couple years - lots of stuff to do before i get to that!  All the originals I've seen are white.  But someone told me they also made black plastic ones as well.  Has anyone seen those on a 65?

If anyone has any nice originals of any of these parts (center vent, plastic bezel around the vent, or the vacuum mechanism / pie plate) for sale, let me know!  Steve

PS - am also looking for nice inside door emblems, original 4 speed shifter ball (no 4 speed pattern), flywheel, and original battery cables all for GS.
