Good $$ if you can get it. o_O


I know inflation has hit everyone hard, but wow. I SUSPECT, but cannot prove, this is Originality Plus and simply under the guise of a different name. Shows Riverside, CA, which is less than 5 miles from Rancho Cucamonga, last known address for O.P.


A bit cheaper option for basically the same part.


I just checked my stash and I've got way more than enough of these.

Oh, wait. NOW it's listed as being in Royse City, Texas, just NE of Dallas. All the stuff just got up and ran over to Texas from California all of a sudden. Can't blame them, I suppose. :)


Hmmmm.

Are those the same as the Regals by chance? It is for the car listed in my Signature. :)
May need Woodgrain Dash bezel too.

No. Not the same. In fact, the "slightly more expensive" one lists it to fit all the way to '88, which is totally NOT true. It physically fits, but the woodgrain changed in 1986, so if you spend that sort of change for one of these, it better be for the right year.

Originality_plus on ebay has one for a GN for only 374.00. It's NOS. Took me a while to find it as I stumbled on it the other day. Luckily for you it's much cheaper than the Olds version (tongue-in-cheek).

Thanks, Good to know the info! Why are these so $$$??? I thought Regals was Dime of the Dozen for parts and aftermarket.

Just did business with this guy, he hid out right gross cosmetic issues that were very noteworthy and the part had indications of use (screw witness marks), got my money back but he was full of hot air and gloated about his collection etc. and basically told me I was wrong...

It was that cruddy LR bezel wasn't it? I saw that and was like, eww. Those marks are likely not going to buff out. That's the issue with the vacuum sucked plastic on those parts sometimes. It can ingrain itself right into the facing.
