Need a 64.5 early 65 Arm Rest Base
« on: August 21, 2014, 11:16:37 AM »
Im looking for one of the early chrome arm rest ( armrest ) base, without the bevel found on the later cars. Condition isn't real important, as I intend to send it out with my one remaining original for re plating.

Those are really hard to find. It took me a couple of years of looking to find mine. The PO had swapped out my original interior for 65 deluxe interior, so I was missing most of the unique features for my 64 1/2 on the inside. I have a pair of door scuff plates for 64 1/2 coupe/fastback if you need those.

Let me know where you plan to send your arm rests for rechroming (when you get them) as the set I have is missing all the chrome.

Chris,

 I'm planning on using Chrome-Tech USA for the re-plateing. www.chrometechusa.com

Please PM me with pics and price on the scuff plates.

 Thanks, Charlie.

Sent you a PM but could not load pictures there. Here are pics of the 64 1/2 scuff plates for coupe/fastback.

I might have access to some.  How about pics so I have something to look for since I'm not a 64.5 guy?

Early




65-66 style



Hope these help

Yes Jeff, that illustrates the difference perfectly. So... anyone have a spare?

Let me check with one of my contacts who knows someone on the east coast that has a yard full of Mustangs.
