Emblems? Quality of repros?

[wcelliot]

I'm doing a fairly indepth resto of a '67 Dart GT.

My emblems ("273 4 barrel", "Dart GT", etc) are faded... are there reproductions out there that are of a good enough quality to use or do I need to seek out NOS?

I know some reproductions in other marques leave a lot to be desired...

Thanks!
Bill

I have seen used and n.o.s. ones on ebay before. I have also seen repops there too and they look really nice. My dad bought a repop one a while back and it is very good quality!

I picked up a couple of 273 four barrel emblems on e-bay and they are very nice reproductions.

look at the 273 repops,,vs the orignals,,
the orignals the face of the emblem is painted argent silver,,
the reopops looked machined,,scratchy, looking, non painted,, if you go to e bay,, and do a search,,273 emblems,, you will see a set of repops,,from mitchel motor parts,,the reason frank is selling repops,, he is out of nos,,those emblems were only used on 66/67 darts,,

the reason i know this,, i have a pair of 273 i bought nos many years ago,that i had on a b cuda for a short time,, and i also have a used set,, that looke great,,i bought them years ago also,,for extras,,not many orignals around if your intrested,, i have this set listed for sale,, i can e mail you pics if you like,, i do not know how to post,,50.00 plus shiping,,not trying to get rich,,,just trying to help out,,, e mail me if you like fstfish66@aol.com

Make sure you get the '67-correct ones. The ones for '66 will be straight up & down when viewed from the side.The correct '67 ones have a bend in them that corresponds to the body line in the '67 fender. They also have different casting numbers. The ones on ebay from Firestone Collectibles sell are the '66 ones. Ol'e Fast Frank says his are universal ('65,'66'67) which is incorrect,cause "universal" ones dont exist. I've been though all this first-hand recently. The '67 ones (originals) show up every-once-in-a-while on ebay.

fstfsh66...that's a decent price for originals.
