You do the contacting. Tell me where to go. And I'll go pick them up for you!

 

[YELLAHEEP]

I plan to call the guy in the morning and see where he's at and firm up a price. Dunno if the guy will be willing to pull 'em or if he'll require the person that shows up for 'em to pull 'em.

I was going to tell you Troy those emblems are rare , I was amazed someone actually had them down here . You know how much emblems go for now a days , I tried getting some OEM GTO emblems a couple years ago from Year one . They wanted 300 bucks because I wanted the very rare Le Mans GTO
emblems that actually say Le Mans under the GTO letters .

Apparently. I did a Wiki search on the "Street Van" package:

This package was available from the 1976 model year until it was discontinued in the early '80s. This was not an overly-popular option from the factory, and Street Vans are somewhat rare. The chrome metal Street Van emblems found on later Street Vans (emblems through mid-1978 were stickers) in good shape are quite valuable to collectors or restorers.

I know I've seen a few of these in years past during my junk yard treks...... I won't walk past another set of these without snatching 'em in the future......
