    Tom,

    I have 1. It's the one you seen @ my house last summer when we went through my cabinet. It isn't perfect but nice. $30. The others I have are not worth talking about.

    Let me know. Shipping would be cheap unless you want to pick it it up.

    I wish I had the money to set up a shop to repop this stuff. I'd quit my day job and make a mint!

    Tom,

    Here is a pic of the one you seen last summer. It's pretty nice and still clear.

    Brian,
    I'll take it. You got any plans on heading a bit north at all in the near future?

    A fellow called me the other day with a NOS pair of these for sale.

    Call 209-941-8070 and ask for Jim.

    He never did tell me a price.

    Tom,

    He contacted me a couple of weeks ago about buying a set of repro parking and reverse lenses for the 65 Skylark.

    He seems to be an older guy that does not own a computer and mainly deals in parts at the West Coast shows / meets.

    His biz card lists him as dealing in new and used Buick parts 1964-74 for the GS / Wildcat / Skylark / Riviera and He's located out of Stockton CA.

    Mark Polstry down in Texas sent him my way and according to Mark, he's been dealing with Jim for a while and he seems to be fair and honest.

    When he bought parts from me, his payment was fast and his check was good. :cool:

    Thanks for the info. I talked to him and will be sending a postal money order later today. He seemed like a decent guy on the phone, so I'll take the chance. Thanks again.

    Tom,

    Please let me know if you have any issues with him and how the deal works out.

    I suspect that everything will work out great for you... but just in case.

    Take care

    I sent the money order to him and got it back today with a note saying that he could not find the lenses. I was a pick ticked off. You would think that he would know what he has before he tells you he does and gives you payment info. My search goes on, anybody with 65 special front turn signal lenses I am definatelty interested. Like I said in the initial post, NOS is what I would like, but I'll take some nice uncracked ones. Thanks guys.
