Turn Signal Lights

[irelandmoss]

I'm redoing a 67 Barracuda Notchback. There were small
turn signal lights on the fenders. Did these lights come
standard or as an option?
Thanks,
Bill

The fender-top turn signal indicators were optional. Depending what style you have, PG Classic may have them available as new reproductions.

I like the fender mounted lights. I plan on putting the body
back to showroom condition and dumping everything under
the hood. Anything from a 383 on up. With the lights on the
fenders I can tell the lower light is working. Don't want to give
the police a reason to get pulled over. Want to show the
youngsters with the rice burners and the mustang crew what
true power is.

Wow, Dan, just checked PG Classic. They should use
a gun with their prices. $195.00 for a set of lights.
I'm still trying to get my jaw off the computer desk.

Given the time, effort, and money that goes into producing a high-quality, low-volume part like this, that price is not terribly out of line. It's not low, and I wouldn't pay it, but it's not terribly out of line.

If you are going to put the lights on the hood and you do not have the mounting holes , here is a diagram showing the hole palcement: http://www.jefframin.org/library/idiotLights.gif

the hood mounted signal fixtures didn't appear on Barracuda until 68. And for the trivia fans, for the first 6 months or so of production, where the hood or fender fixtures were there the bulbs for the dash indicaters were left out.

OK, if they didn't come out till 1968 I
won't put them on. I want to keep the
car year correct with the body. Thanks
for all the help guys. Have a safe and
happy new year.
