1965 442


Hello all
New here and had a few questions. I recently finished building my 442 and have not been able to find the rear bumper back up lights. Really wishing I had just had them deleted when I re chromed the bumpers to be honest. If anyone has a set I would be interested in them.
Second thing is I may have went way overboard on the build. I have had the car for 20+ years drove it a lot and then thought I should give it a little TLC. Now after 13 years it's on the road again but now it is to high end for just riding around in. Any thoughts on best place to advertise selling it.

Rear back up lights I'm looking for

I'd just drive it, hi end or not. Besides a classified ad here you can try Oldsmobilecentral.cm, racingjunk.com, of course craigslist, and maybe Ebay.

Post some under hood and interior pics when you get a chance. I always enjoy seeing a well put together hot rod.

Actually 442 bro has a set but when I tried to buy them was treated like crap and they are $1,000 and that was 4 years ago. And I see he still has them. I will send the bumper back to advanced plating have them strip it weld it solid and re chrome it before I give that guy $1000
I'll check the other link out. Thanks for info

Sorry bout that and no way in hell I'd pay a K for them either. Maybe somebody on Jasen's site has a set or maybe the reverse light assy.
Try Roger Green,he's a 65 guy in NM.
