W-31 Lower Scoops
Looking to get a complete pair of lower OAI scoops for 1969 W-31/w-31 with brackets and front trim.
Fusik, Origial Parts Group, and E-Bay do not seem to have any right now.
Anyone have some new or used they want to part with?
Thanks

Reproductions are available from The Parts Place and other vendors. See the post under my name as to how I added them to my ‘66 Starfire.
Tip: you have to mount them well forward to keep them from interfering with any tires that are slightly ( or a lot) oversize. I was at the Ohio Olds show last summer . All the original pieces I saw (like maybe 6 or 8 left…) had rubbing marks or holes or slots from larger tires wearing the plastic down.
I wound up trimming 1.5” off the leading edge of my reproductions to keep them from rubbing, but that also means you need to mount them further forward than the factory did (i.e. cut the 4” holes) further forward than Olds did.
Cheers

Thanks for the tip, but these will be for real W-31 and W-30 and holes are already factory made. ( Wouldn't want to ruin inner fender wells )
This is reply from The Parts Place:
Unfortunately, this part/listing is not available to order at this time. Since merging with Classic Industries, we have been slowly removing used, reconditioned, and NOS parts and are moving towards offering new, reproduction restoration parts only. Listings that state “Inquire for Pricing” are not available, some of these may be only temporarily discontinued as we may be offering them in the near future, and some are permanently discontinued and in the process of being removed from our online catalog.
