Just bought a real nice passenger side 396 foil badge bezel off e-bay. It has a different number than the ones I have seen? Maybe a second design? The number on the back is 3920873 IMP.2 Or maybe someone put a 396 foil badge on another bezel? The one's I have seen Brent post had the part numbers 3921887 and 39211888. Any one have a driver side bezel they want to part with?

It had the 5800 rpm redline tach....all the other tachs are 5000...and from what I've head there are only a hundered or so ever made are are extremely rare

Oh OK, I thought that's what it was, I have one, but won't sell it.:no:

You know that was a $400+ option, right? You had to order so many other things just to get the tach, bucket seats and console, plus gauges.

What I Mean...

1969NIGHTMARESS said:
golden chicken lips ????? I guess you mean parts that draw $$$$ on ebay.

I sold the dash cluster out of my 69-375 hp car...Got 1800.00 PLUS shipping....maybe not gold..but it paid for a custom dash w/ ultra light autometer gauges and a bunch pf other stuff!!! I got some bb only brake line bracket on the front sub frame that is supposidly gold chicken lips too....make an offer ??

No, I'm not referring to Ebay parts.....it was a reference to the rarity of 1968 Novas...especially the L78 models. I have all the GPCL parts I need for the moment....

Was your 69 Silver Nova with black top ever owned by Charlie Graf?

Name sounds familiar.....it was in Kearny for a pretty long time. It's possible that is who they bought the car from.

The number on my 327 emblem is 3920873 for the drivers side, and it has a slight curve. I think the emblem started out straight and just conformed to the fender which is slightly curved.My car is a 4E built. I dont understand why the others cars got the embossed on the late cars and the novas still used the foil.

Jeff, Thanks for looking! That is the original off your green 68 L79 car you are doing correct? So that number was put on the 68 nova not just the Chevelle!
I agree it will form to the fender just fine because the after market ones are staight and when you tighten them up they form to the fender just fine. I hope to have a matched set soon!

what was the build date on the car the 350 emblems came from? I see its a different part # Than mine.
My friend just called me and said he was looking thru my old stuff and found a set of NOS foil 327 emblems in a box!!!! Man was I happy! I vagley remember buying them several years ago. I just couldnt put the embossed ones on.

Jeff,

I bet that made your day. I just bought a 3920874 off e-bay so I have a matched set now. You really can't tell the difference unless you have both bezel's side by side. Just my 2 cents.

Dan,Brent, and Jeff you all have NOS foils so any of you can respond. Does the foil inserts have some sort of glue or 2 sided tape on them or are they bare and need adhesive added?
