Never saw an NOS one.
You can clean an original up pretty nice with some WD-40 if it is not scratched up much. I think there are a couple cars you can use the gutter from and not just the nova. Just measure yours an look on Ebay or steal one from Schoney. He has a few to choose from! ![]() |

Sam, I just put a repro on a car and it looks very nice...didn't compare it to the original for exact detail...but I wasn't doing a Deuce
A used original from a junk yard or survivor is a possibility. They tend to dry out from engine heat and then crack/break near the screw holes. I think a mint original could be restored with a good clean up and then some vinyl paint like Fusion black. I'll look around and see if I can find anything for you...wilma

Sam,
The wiring gutter for a 70 has holes for the TCS switch. 70 Impalas etc... use the same gutter. I do not have a nice 70 on hand. I do have a very nice used 69 if you want to drill it yourself. Earl |

I think I have one with a TCS switch still mounted to it. I will have to check.

Thanks for all the responses. Mine is scratched and split and imo will not be restorable. yes 70 novas have 2 holes for TCS but these could be easily drilled from a gutter w/o holes (in fact mine has two, what appears to be factory, sets of drilled holes on each end - very clean/symmetrical). Let me know what you all find.

Thank you for your kindness Woj! ![]()
