WTB: NOS Rallye 350 Decals

Looking for passenger fender decal and the three decals for around the rear window. I have all the other pieces. I know it's a tall order, and that repop decals are available, but I'd like to complete the set.

I can relate to the quest for NOS items in lieu of aftermarket, however in the case of decals you have to be cautious... Depending how the decals had been stored over the years can determine if the glue backing will still be good...

True, not so sure I want them to even put on the car. I think it's more that I'd like to just complete the set. Appreciate the sage wisdom.

The problem with the old decals is the release paper on the front side of the decal. The adhesive most of the time becomes one with the face of the decal and marks it for life if you can get the release paper off without destroying the decal. I had a set of 1988 pacecar decals that were totally junk because of this.

X3...I would never want or use NOS decals for the reasons mentioned. Not in today's world where these things are easily re-pro'ed on probably better material. These were the go to guys a long time ago back in the 80's.

Guys,
Appreciate the comments but read my note. Not looking for a lesson in adhesives--just looking for original decals for my collection. Thanks.
