Over 2 years and I've never seen a NOS Tailight assembly for a Commodore.

I thought it would be fun to do a poll on how much it will go for!

    Looks a bit pittewd on the one side, call it shelf wear.



    My guess is around $90 bucks...



    which is a bit high considering the condition.



    I would pay around $150-$200 for a nice set of early takeoffs, or NOS.

    Its so much nicer looking than the ones on my car it brings a tear to my eye! And the inside of the housing is clean.

    Anyway - are these style tailight housings readily available in good shape - or do the ALL have pitting and need to be stripped, drilled, filled and chromed?

    Well - at least the tailights are realtively easy to take in and out!

    I've never heard of anything around the northwest to go to and look for parts?

    Big Swap meet in Portland Oregon. Jim Harmon is ususally there along with many members of the Northwest Chapter. You can check with them for the exact dates.

    Hi Paul, Nice meetin' ya at PF.

    By drilling one additional hole in the panel per light, they can be used on the super. I did it with my 49 Super to help the night visibility. One more step towards "Commodorizing" her. LOL

    I have two bulbs in each. One is an LED type and very bright. I do have a 12 Volt system too. Dave W.

    Where? :o



    I have been passively seeking out a nice presentable (or NOS) pair for some time. I think Frank had one, and I wasn't sure but I thought it was either shelf worn or had a few pits. My concentration has been the harder to find part, the taillight bezels always seeme to be somewhat common. I guess I'll have to comb Frank's table at Doc's meet come May. Maybe I need to step it up to "active" or "aggressive" :eek:
