Looking for two of the underhood "Mobil 1" Oil plaques for an '87 GLHS, fair to good shape. Please PM--thanks!

Wasn't somebody reproducing these things?

Don't know--I did recently purchase a really nice set of repro vacuum diagrams from a member, but he didn't have the oil plaques.

Be great if someone could make up a batch--even if they were just decals without the aluminum backing--there just aren't any around.

Is that aluminum vinyl for the background or on a piece of aluminum? Nice piece!

The one I got says "Shelby GLHS". Does the '87 say something different?

Gotya - learn something new every day. Would be better than nothing to have Shelby GLHS tho.

Paul:
He was the one I was trying to get them from and he doesn't have any 87's from what I've heard.

Appreciate everyone's input on this thread. Heard back from the Shelby parts guy--apparently there aren't any NOS plaques for the '87 Chargers that he's aware of, only "GLHS" plaques for the '86 Omnis. I'm probably going to pick up a few of those for the time being.

If anyone is into doing repros, this would probably be hot-ticket item. Our OEM has become unreadble over the years.

I'm willing to do the repro's...I have access to brushed anodized aluminum (both with a grain and also in a "satin finish", thickness is .030"). I can also affix 3M double sided VHB tape (I assume this had a micro-thin tape on the back?) I would need specifications as far as asize and an original one to create a master from. If there is a desire for this, please pm me!!

I'd be in for a couple if you should decide to make them.

I can give you sizing info and an exact color scan, but as you can see the tag is pretty badly faded. Depending on final cost we'd need two, and then probably two more for spares.

PM sent.

I've got an original, .....somewhere. I think it may be off an '87 CSX.

Uh, I found it and sorry, it specifically says "Shelby CSX",....sorry thought it would be the same. Also found the engine serial number badge HP4 2213556, (I actually still have that block). I'm guessing these are the VIN plates too.
