Mon Jun 23, 2008 4:55 pm

So got my first water cooled 17 years ago...never had an air cooled..I know, I still have time. Guess that still make me a newbie here.

IN any event, this is a whine...

We were cleaning out the barn and uncovered a small trove of 56 Oval parts..

I want to start with the ORIGINAL Rear oval glass and the sides...what the heck are they worth? Dad got them in 61...been there ever since!

I didn't want to be one of those guys asking a bazillion $$ if they aren't worth it...but I don't want to give them away either. Please help! :lol:

easiest way for you to determine what to ask is by looking in the classifieds.....

then cutting the price in half and offering all that stuff to me :D

hahaha...

I did a quick check and after 2 pages of glass, I didn't see exactly what I had.

Thats when I just figured it might be time to make some new friends...

2 seconds after searching the 57 and earlier parts section for rear window

There are side windows there too.

Note the age of those ads - they are probably too much if they haven't sold yet.

Hey, THANKS! Still learning my way around the site...its a little different than the "Whor-tex"

Does it matter if the glass is original or after market? These all have the Sekurit lable on them...wasn't sure.

Thanks guys!

Original is always better.

Sekurit logo = original in most cases.

Oval rear glass is hard to sell even at $50. Rear qtr glass can't be given away.

Is this Kev? I just got a 57 oval this week. Hit me up with what parts you have I'll buy them off you. I love having spares. Thanks, Steve

Isn't that the truth. Unless it has NO scratches or pits on it whatsoever...
