Repro 65 & 66 Skylark front turn signal lenses - Group Purchase

Repro 65 & 66 Skylark front turn signal lenses - 1966 LENSES ARE NOW HERE

With NOS lenses going for $100 each, these lenses will really help us out. I bought a set of these lenses a couple years ago, and the quality is great. I told him that 20 sets shouldn't be a problem, so please post how many sets you plan to buy (don't forget to inlcude year)... I will be buying 2 sets myself. The lenses come clear, so the silver paint is up to you. I will post pics shortly. Here is the latest email:

"Dan, am still awaiting product as supplier was supposed to have moved to larger premises Dec 02 to allow an increase in production.

Move is currently underway and we should have product in July, if all things work out OK.

Will be shipping bulk 65 and 66 front Lens to LA for distribution ASAP.

Will let you know who to contact when items are shipped.

Bulk discount will be offered to you at that time."


BTW the lenses are from Australia! HTH

 

Dan,

What is the cost? I'll take at least one set, but maybe more depending on price.

Mark

 

Mark-
I will email him regarding the price. I'll post the info as soon as I get it. I think I paid $60 for my set a couple years ago. (But don't hold me to that price....)

Spread the word, I know there are more 65/66 owners than you and I....
I thought there would be more interest. At least I'm excited...
:TU:

 

Dan,

Sounds good - keep us posted. I can't believe no one else has responded to this either.

I know there at at least a half dozen other 65 owners on this board, maybe more. Maybe you should put this in the "Bench" section, and do a poll or something.

It's a lonely outpost being a 65 owner compared to the 70-72 crowd.

Mark

 

Somehow I missed this thread! Depending on the price, I may also be in. Just let me know!

 

I have a 65 but my car has excellent turn signal lenses. And there was an extra set in the trunk when I got the car.

me to 65 sportwagon

 

:TU: I'm in too!:bglasses:Make that for two sets for my 65 Lark Gran Sport

 

I'm still waiting on a price. I will post asap. I thought the Sportwagon's used lenses from the Special??? Please double check - The 65's are repros of original part number 5955989.

 

Dan,
I will take a set.
Bill Bailey

 

Update

Sorry I have been out of town... Here is the latest email:

"Dan, the 66 lens is only half the size of the 65 and will be a few dollars cheaper.

I cant give an indicative price yet as I need to get the bulk freight cost to the West Coast and that will depend on the total weight/volume."


I'll will keep everyone updated on the status of these lenses.

 

I'll get some

I need 2 sets for the 65 GS Model...I want to make sure they are for the GS MODEL and not the special or reg skylark Bumpers...Let me know! THANKS!

 

I need two 1966 Skylark sets.Thanks, Dan

I haven't heard from the guy in a while, so I just emailed him again. And I just wanted to let everyone know that I am on top of the situation. (I'm not a flake!!! I swear!!! )

 

Dan,
A flake wouldn't offer to spearhed a group purchase. Dan(the other one)

 

Dan - thanks for the kind words. I just emailed him again --- I hope he didn't flake out on us!!! I will post pics of the ones I have shortly.

 

I have sent him 2 emails, and both have been unanswered...:af: Perhaps someone can ask Bill from Buickstreet.com to help us out because he his located in Australia as well. I can post his info if someone wants to try and contact him as well...

 

Patience

Dan it's just a case of when their done, their done. Mine have been cracked for two years and that's when this deal sorta started to take shape when I contacted him reguarding making another run.
He said he would do it and I'm confident they will get done. I'm going to have my 65 for a long time so when their done I'll still need 'em.
I'm in a hurry but I can wait.
:Comp:

 

Doug -
I feel the same way... I just wish I could get an update. I am also curious why no one else has tried to repro these lenses... I've never met a '65 owner that couldn't use a set.
I let you guys know when I hear something.
