Dan, did you just buy those shocks? !!

no no, I've had them for many, many years. The shocks on ebay had a '69 date. I believe my shocks are dated '68 for an earlier '69.

Don't know about the lid itself, but that 302 decal is as repro as the day is long...the fonts aren't even close.

Should look something like this:



since the stuff is for sale the value isn't really important anyhow.

Thanks for clarification on the decal, Joe. I'll have to do more research on the decal as I was fairly certain it too was original.

Air cleaner cover aside, we seem to disagree on many points stemming back to the used USA-1 plate you tried to sell me as an NOS unit. You don't want to know the market value of your memorabilia collection? You keep tabs on the Yenko Deuce market while I'd imagine your car will never be for be for sale. Same principle applies here. Your comment is disrespecting to me. The parts are mine, I can ask whatever question I want. I'm a paying member and I'm using the forum as its designed.

Sorry for the distraction guys. I do value your opinions!

Thanks,
-Dan

Dan,
Just to add some clarification on the air cleaner decal. It is my impression that the original ones were a lot thicker than the reproductions. They had a manila folder width piece of cardboard between the adhesive back and the chrome and red decal. They stood up from the air cleaner lid a slight distance and didn't fit right down flat on it like the repros do. Hope this helps.

Thank you much Mario. I do know what you're talking about. I have an NOS air cleaner decal for my Corvette.
