68 Electra 225 - Looking for a couple of parts

Hello,
Looking for the SS trim across the rear above the bumper and under the trunk lid. I need the trim and the fasteners.

Also, I just finished my trunk upholstery project. Only part in need to complete it is the spare tire hold down bar with wing nut.

Last is the drivers (and passenger is possible) side front marker light, I've noticed that that light comes in 2 sizes for the same model year, I'm look for the larger one.



If anyone can help, please let me know.
Thanks in advance
Mike

 

Opps, forgot - Also looking for the front wheel well trim, both sides.

Mike,

Do you also need the skirts for the rear wheels ?

You have the optional cornering lights, the other ones you are talking about are the regular (1968 and on) side marker lights.
Here is a scan from my 1968 LeSabre, Wildcat, Electra 225 owner's manual:

 

Mike Garrison on the board is parting a 68 Electra.

 

Ah, thank you, that was bothering me for some time. Nice to know.

Unfortunately due to the previous owners body work, I don't think my car will ever wear skirts again. Disappointed but was aware when I purchased the car.

Mike, here's an avatar image :TU:

 

RACEBUICKS is his board name.

 

Thank you, not sure how to or what to do with an avatar? Can this be added in some way to my profile?

 

It looks like you already figured it out :bglasses:

 

Oh, got it!, I figured it out, thanks again.

Thanks, I found his company web site, sent an email. He already returned the email and look like he has many of the items I want. This is GREAT!, thanks to all for the help! What a great place this is.

Glad I could help. Mike is a good guy.

 

Mike,

Fender skirts on eBay:

Driver side :Comp:

Passenger side :Comp:

I'm sure you will find a way to attach them to the car again :TU:

 

Your really making me think. At some point I would like to have it properly re-painted and the bad body work in the quarter panels improved. No idea what that would cost or how bad the damage is thats covered up with a 4-5 year old real bad paint job. The car only has 70k original miles with a almost spotless interior. I don’t think, and have been told the care will never be a show car, and not really what I want but the missing skirts and bad body work is really bothering me. Perhaps I should look into buying for the possible future.

 

Our son has a 68 4 door electra he has had for 10 years all he want,s is the motor. Should have the parts you need.

 

Thats Great,
Can you (he) reply with a couple of pics? let me know the price and we can take care of
Thanks
Mike

 

I will get pictures on Monday he lives 5 miles up the road. Should be able to send by Tuesday

Does it have a power seat and AM/FM radio? Good fan shroud?

 

Thanks,
I could be interested is several other items if he's going to part out. It would be great if you take several pictures, not just the parts I listed but of the several of the hole car in and out.

Skirts?
