Are you looking for a new replacement one, or an original?

Chevrolet produced a pretty wide variety of fan shrouds for the early C3's, so before looking for one (used in particular) it's important to know what the one you need, actually looks like. Because so many different ones were used, a lot of them were modified over the years to accommodate various other changes made to an original car. Such as an after market radiator, different intake using a different water outlet, etc. I've seen many of them at places like Carlisle that were identified as being for a particular engine combination incorrectly, or so modified that it would be hard to tell. So be careful before paying big money for one unless you're sure it is what you're looking for.

Paragon identifies this as one that fits your car...
