I am in need of one 1968 Headrest for 1968 442 and alsoI need the passenger side kick panel for a/c car for the same car.

Thanks
Gary

 

Gary,
Do you actually "need" the 1968 headrest? They were not yet federally required, and were optional from the factory, so not all cars got them. Translated: They are rare. They vary from the 1969 model in the way the mounting rods/spines "latch" to their respective latching mechanisms. After searching for a few years, I gave up and used '69 versions in my '68.

 

I would prefer a 68 one but I might have to do what you did on using a 69. The headrest that I have had cracked and i tried to fix it. Its ok but I would like to replace it. The headrest on my 72 did not fit very well.

 

Gary, I don't know if this would work for you, but some of the aftermarket joints sell headrest covers. They are made of the same nylon material as the seats. This might be a direction you could look into.

 

Looks like your lucky day.
Beenthere just bumped this for sale post, so I assume he still has it.

That's great., Tom; thanks for the update. This should get Gary setup in grand fashion.

 

The headrest covers look like crap once installed FYI, I have a nice pair of original 1969 headrests, PM me if interested.

 

Thank you for the information

 

He bumped it saying it was sold.

 

He bumped the for sale add at 2:49PM. Then edited the bumped post as sold at 4:58PM. It was still available when I posted in this thread at 2:56PM.

 

I still have a nice pair of original gold 1969 headrests if interested
