Removeable Window - Parts Pics
FRSTR90, Here are the pics of the pieces removed from my 72' vette. They were replacements to go into my 68' but I have changed direction and presently in the process of turning it into a convertible. (no NCRS for me.....
) The pieces need cleaned up. The window has no scratches. The flip down glass holder has all of the pieces (2-rear hinges, 1-center mount, lock butten, adjusters) except for the two small backing plates mounted behind the fiberglass wall, 4 washers can be used to make up for the plates. The 2 chrome latches have some pitting but work fine. The 2 upper interior filler pieces are in great shape with no cracks, just need cleaned up. I am including the 2 chrome pieces which mate to the upper fillers in case the later years which you have do not fit. I do not have the window seal as mine was too hard and cracked. I am asking $250.00 + $20.00 to ship. To all of those who PM'd me....FRSTR90 is first in line, if he passes I will respond in the order that I was PM'd.....Thanks.....Ken
