In the mid 80's, a friend of mine had a 67 Beaumont SD with a 427, and I had my 66 Grande Parisienne 427. We both wanted air cleaner decals, and of course there was nothing available. We found someone who would make them, but we had to buy about 20 or 25 pages if I remember right.
I still have some of these pages. The pictures below show how they look, other than the fact that the gold does not show up well with a flash. They are pretty accurate as far as the gold color goes, but if I recall correctly, the "Astro" and "Econo" names may not be identical for the respective horsepowers. I forget exactly now, but it seems to me one of them is named different than the original.
At any rate, if I remember right, we paid about $14 or $15 per sheet. If anyone would like to buy a sheet for that price, just let me know, because I still have a few. We just cut out the appropriate decal with a razor blade, leaving the thin gold border.
For those of you who followed my "wanted" thread looking for my old 4 speed 66 427 car, you saw in at least one of the pictures posted that the decal was still on the air cleaner after over 20 years, so I know they are durable!!!

I have a few more still. I didn't count exactly, but I think I can still let about 7 or 8 more go. I want to keep a couple for "future" considerations (never know what I may buy!).
Just PM me your address Al.
Thanks.

I have responded to everyone via PM who has inquired. My intent was to ship out tomorrow, but currently my temperature is 39 degrees, and if that is the case, I won't be going anywhere tomorrow.

At the top right of the page it says Logged in as Below that is Taylor55 and beside it says Log out. There is no Private Message written. I checked my Inbox where I registered and it is empty. So I guess I did not get it.
Well, it's day 2 with this virus/bug whatever it is. Sorry guys, I guess that means I won't be mailing today unless I have an amazing recovery this afternoon. Pretty much flat out in bed still, except I HAD to check in here!!!
