70 GTO A/C Center Dash Vent Restoration?
Can anyone recommend a place that can restore a center dash vent for a 70 GTO with A/C? This is the vent with the adjustable slats - not the fixed slats like on the earlier models. I think it will need to be disassembled to be "re-chromed" and detailed. Thanks!

Hey guys, isn't that vent the same one used in virtually every Lemans, GTO, Catalina, Bonneville, etc... from the early 70's that came with A/C? It sure looks the same in my GTO as it does in my '74 Bonneville.
I would think that would make finding a decent one super easy, and relatively cheap. Of course, if you want to have your original redone, that's understandable, but I think it's an easy part to source otherwise...

Even if it is the same part it will still be over forty years old and in need of restoration.

But they are not correct. They do not have the verticle black dividers and are a smaller diameter.

I used them years ago, but I don't remember what piece it was. I guess it was OK because I would have remembered if it turned out bad. |
