Hello ;35;35Guys and ;28;28Gals...
Im looking at purchasing some PO2 covers formy vette.. as an alternative to the rally wheels :{:{ and want to know whether anyone has any details & serial numbers that i can use to check against.
Also any information or idea on what a good set should cost me or what i should pay for (max)? Currently Im looking at buying some from the states :flower:flower and have no idea what a good set of four is worth, or what i should pay?

For what it's worth I am pretty certain you can't get repros.
It isn't too hard to find a set in my experience. Found a set of NOS P02's a while back for what I recall was a very sensible price. Alot of people take them off their car as they don't like them (FWIW I love them) so they aren't a big $$$ item based on what I've seen.
I'd put a post up in the C3 section of CorvetteForum.com stating what you are after and see what comes back at you from there. If you buy anything off another forum member from somewhere else, check their history and don't buy off any newcomers - too risky.
Also check out ebay.
The "C3 guys" here can probably point you in the direction of a few other C3 specific sites where someone may have a set.
Good luck. :22

NOS rare 1968 early P02 hubcap. John, 260-672-8829, IN. USA -
found this in hemmings motor news,
Check that they are not P01 because they are different apparently? Cause they look similar.P01 was for early 68 and also chev cars(I read that?)
Vo I think you might find the opposite....Because everyone disliked them NOW they are very rare! = big $$$$ I put "P02 Hubcaps for sale" onto google,This was the only response for a set for sale!
But I just found this!!!!

I hear ya 69DR but I still haven't seen a really expensive set yet. ;41 Finding a perfect set might be difficult though.

Hey Guys,
Thanks for your feedback.
I have also seen the PO2's on the ebay site and have contacted the guy in the states and he has come back with numbers..
TURBINE-1376022E
CENTER CAP-E1377173
HUBCAP-HAS NO PART#
However, judging by his responseto me, i think he wants big bucks for his PO2's... the difficult part is making a decision, cause its impossible to determine how good they are...
I think that its better to wait and see if anyone has some NOs ones here in Australia?
Whatdya reckon... ;-- ;--
-
If he is vague about the price - just ask him.
If he wants alot of money I'd pass (personally), although I think you would have far better odds of finding a set in the USA.
You never know what is around the corner.

Ive currently asked him to get me a firm price on the overlla shipping cost to Sydney Aus.. as they are sort of heavy.
We will then see.... im in no rush.... ;30;30;30
