    Hello all. I've been fortunate enough to find most of the hard-to-find parts I need for my '69 restoration. Sadly, I haven't had any luck finding the trunk trim end pieces (the ones attached to the rear qtrs.). I need both sides as mine are severely pitted.

    If anyone has these trim pieces for sale or knows of anyone who might, please PM me or email me at cvilnonis AT yahoo DOT com.

    Thanks everyone!!!

    Have a set, need to get them off the car. Will try to get to it this weekend. Need to get the chain saw out to cut a tree that is in the way. Not sure of the condition will get them off and clean them up and let you know, thanks Bill Sangster.

    I've been looking for three years now without success. It is the hardest part to find. It would be nice to see these reproduced. The worst part of it is that I think there are some folks buying and holding onto these for ?????, while the rest of us just want a decent one for our project.

    must have missed it. got a link? all I see is the '68 deck lid pieces and the '69 trunk trim with BUICK on it. I need the END pieces that sit on the rear qtrs.

    Ugh. That looks just like mine. Thanks for thinking of me anyway. At least now there is a picture to go with the description of what I need.

    Why did GM have to ever create pot metal? :Dou:

    Steve... not bad. Better than what I have. Your're right, very pricey and I don't need the center piece. What to do, what to do...

    Dude, what is your name? :Do No:

    It's funny, I need the center piece, not the ends. Although the correct GS center piece I need does not have the B-U-I-C-K on it. Those are much more common.

    Good luck in your search. I'll look out for the parts for you.
