Very very rare. Worth ten times that asking price. Someone should tell the seller not to go so cheaply.

Might be a good deal, they look like they could be off of the '56 to '60 Corvettes.

Agree!
I am always looking at ebay motors vintage parts and see all kinds of crap on there never even dreamed of for a Corvette. I always want to send the seller a note and ask them how do they know this goes on a 68 Corvette????

Those came standard on the corvettes that were made out of metal, before they started using fiberglass. i had one girl tell she had a corvette made of steel, back in the day at a car show.

I wish I had a dollar for every person who told me at a car show, that their Dad or grandfather had an 83.

My friends dad had one these older cars that were made of steel, way before they made them out of plastic. Volunteered this information when he saw mine. I just agreed, did not want to break his fantasy.

Those handles are for the TWO CAR GARAGE...that once upon a time..a '70 corvette may have been stored in.
I love the guys who sell 77-82 'Stingray' parts....Rule # 1 RUN AWAY FAST.
