Cleaning out my father in-laws garage and found these. Anyone know if they’re worth trying to sell? I believe they came off his 1978 Corvette.

the 25th anniversary badge is either the nose or the fuel lid badge. If it is flat across the bottom it is for the fuel lid, if it has a slight bend from side to side it is the nose badge.

Thanks for all the replies
Looks like they are for a very specific wheel.
if I remember correctly he did have spoked wheels on his vette. I think I’ll probably just toss them. Trying to find the right buyer might take a while.

best audience is ebay... Being they are so specific actual makes them more valuable as they are a hard find. wouldnt hurt to post this pic in the for sale section here as a lot of guys check it evey day.

Before you toss them, why not give them to some Corvette mechanic/restoration shop like C and S Corvettes in Sarasota? Lyle is a great guy and they may have a customer that needs them one day. Just drop them in the mail to that one or some similar shop.

My 73 came with actual Tru-Spokes that are from mid-70's. The center caps are way smaller. Put those center caps of yours on ebay. You never know what someone will pay.

Its your father in law. It was important to him. Throw them away? Is that what he would do? You are now the caretaker of the things he held dear. Would not be surprised if he haunted you from the grave.

Ah, so you knew his FIL and knew what he held dear? That's cool, and happy that you can help a fella out.

If my kids thought everything in my garage was something I held dear, then God help them!!! LOL
