I will be bringing a parts car home that will likely have one but I will not be getting it for a couple months. If you still need one this Spring you may send me a message.

That one is for the f-85. The Cutlass and Jetfire are different.

I picked up a parts car. It has one but it would need re-chromed. It will be a week or so till I could pull it off but if you want it I would take $30 shipped for it. The chrome is bad but don't look like any bad pitting.

Let me get it off the car before you send payment just to be sure there is not any problems with it that I cant see while on the car. I will be working much over time this week so it could be the weekend before I can pull it off.

I decided to go out and have a quick look to see how hard it would be to get off. Some of the front is already apart so it was not hard to get to. Here are some pictures of it. Both nuts were on solid and tight but one stud is a little rough. just above where the nut was. If you still want it then send me a PM with your address and I will get you my PayPal information.

Ok I will. It is the passenger side right? Not sure when you’re planning on shipping or by what method? The reason I ask is because I will be out of town starting this Saturday 2/24-3/6...if you send during this time I will give you an alternate address.
