Default OEM Emblems? Please Help Identify

Greetings!

I have four emblems and after some basic searching I seem to be C3 emblems, three are the same and one is slightly different, the shape is a little different and the pegs sticking out the back are longer than the others.

Can anyone please help me identify exactly what they are (side, front, etc) and confirm that they are C3? I believe they are OEM as well, is there any way to confirm this?






Also, notice that on the middle emblem on the left the back is concave and not solid as the others are, which naturally makes this one lighter. Thank you so much for any assistance and knowledge.

These are the four emblems used on a 1977. I know, I have one. They may also be used on 1978, 1979, but not sure.

Same as our '77. Fenders, nose and fuel door emblems.

Ah, thank you so much!

I'm probably going to list these on ebay, what would you estimate a competitive price for them?

Do a search on eBay for similar completed auctions and see what has actually sold and for how much. Honestly, they don't have a large value to them - pretty common item, so they come up for sale regularly.

Might not matter to many (probably .001%) but does anyone have an original 77 to look at. I thought the top right corner of the flag was white and then sometime in 78 they changed to black. A friend looked at his 77 and they are white with the hood flag being black.

Just curious as those might not be original 77.

Why would the angle of the "X" be so different on the one on the right? I would have guessed that it was a poor reproduction. Lou.

Photo from an all original (unrestored) '77. You may be correct Karol, since the emblems he posted have a black corner. Good catch!

I'm wondering if this was a mid-year thing - the emblems on our '77 have black in the corners.

Only late model 1977 came with fender emblems. The gas door and both side emblems are 1977 one year only part number, both side emblems and fuel door emblem are white in the corners. Front nose emblem has a black corner and was used between 1977-1979. Top is the gas door emblem, lower is the front emblem. I don't have new side emblems,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,yet.
