I'll keep an eye out in the garage for more snake blinders, but you may be out of luck.
The trim and interior stuff takes up a ton of room, and on the odd chance someone wants a piece, they don't want to give more than $20 for it because these cars hold no value.

I filled up 2 10 yard dumpsters full of used 77-85 full size stuff before last winter.
Bumpers, seats, dashes, you name it. I was hoping more people would get into these cars and like them as much as I do......BUT, I don't see it happening anymore.

I've been tripping over all this crap for 10 years, and sold 50 bucks worth of parts.

The 2 main type of people into these cars are:

--Big stereo/Big wheel people, who want to customize everything anyway,
and
--Demolition/8 track/drag guys who rip everything off/out of them.

I don't see much of a future in factory correct restorations, because they were worthless slug powerplants, in cars worth 800 bucks nowadays. I don't even want to be involved with helping people find a correct date coded air pump.

With all this going green crap being the rave, people just give you dirty looks if you're driving a v8, and it's not a show car.
I feel the empire has crumbled. We will all grasp at straws until we have no hands left.

is it bolted onto the fender or does it pop off from the clips? I see these all the time when I am walking the yards. Have you tried a local yard yet?
