Well, the price keeps going up. Here's a set of NOS 70 tail light lenses WITHOUT GASKETS for an opening bid of $359.95 and a buy it now price of $379.95. The gaskets will likely cost you another $30 to $40. Plus there is a $25 shipping charge. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6766&item=1876143328 Excellent. My FLAWLESS reproduction lenses are looking like a BARGAIN! Alan
Boy, you can say that again! I couldn't believe when I saw that auction yesterday... Al, did you reach your 25 sets ordered yet?
I got my NOS lenses in the '90s. Last Summer while backing into a parking spot I bumped a street sign that was leaning over at an odd angle and broke one at the edge:af: I glued it back together, and after I sand it a bit and polish the joined sections and repaint the gray area it should be fine, but boy was I mad! Almost 400 bucks for them now, eh? I think I paid 90 bucks a pop. Should have bought two sets...
Re: Re: NOS 70 GS Tail Light Lenses Actually no I haven't, but I ordered the lenses anyway. Should have them by end of Jan. as the Christmas production run didn't happen as planned. Apparently, no one wanted to work much overtime around Christmas. The lenses are being run on Jan. 20. Hopefully, I can get a few more orders by then. Alan
I can't believe that there isn't 25 people that need 70 lenseso No: I wish I had a 70 but I need 71's and if this doesn't happen then what chance do I have of seeing repros of 71 parts? how close are you? You can bet that if and when the day comes that 71 parts are made I will take a set of tail light lenses and I will take two 71 grilles. I will also take a set of marker lights when they are made. With BPG membership on the rise maybe the club could purchase the remaining sets from the run like JW had suggested earlier. Just rambling thoughts........
Chris, I do have 1 71 tail light that is in excellent shape..chrome paint is a bit fadded, let me know, red is still bright and there is no cracks at all. Couldnt sell it for 20 bucks at the swapmeet....its yours for 20+shipping if you would like it. Let me know.:TU: Larry
Thanks a bunch Chris...I will send it out on Saturday or Monday by mail....I will let you know of the shipping price when I send everthing out :TU: . My email add. is olds442gm@aol.com Larry
Now is the time for all of us to remember this..... maybe 5 or 10 years down the road when there are even no repros to be had.....wow, shoulda bought a set or two while they were still available. This is "IT" 70 guys!!!:Smarty: If I could afford a 2nd and 3rd extra set I would...... I'll have to settle for one set for now.
Re: Re: Re: NOS 70 GS Tail Light Lenses Alan I will jump for a set if the credit card is not chargewd until shipment date. Is that what you are doing? Just do not want to get the money tied uo if there should be an unexpected gilch. Jim Lore
Re: Re: Re: Re: NOS 70 GS Tail Light Lenses That's what I'm doing. And since I have final packaging and shipping responsibility, I can ensure that this is what happens. I've learned a few things dealing with some of these stupid companies. I now know why some of them don't retail their products, they'd never make it with their business practices. Alan
