I checked Megaparts but not BEA. And Y1, well, I agree. Probably won't bother...

What about Chrysler?  They offer a surprising number of emblems don't they?

Good suggestion. I found a part number from an old Ebay auction and called them with it. After a bit of digging they told me there's 3 in the Portland area. :2thumbs: It was $32 and change (less than any reproduction seller), it has been ordered and will arrive on Wed. I sure hope it's the right one. :shruggy:

Not sure if it's just my local Dodge dealer but for a long time they didn't want to bother fooling with the old part numbers. Maybe they've updated their system, maybe their attitudes are better, maybe I've softened them up, I don't know, but they have finally gotten to the point where they're willing to make an effort to look for the old stuff these days. Of course today the parts lady I called at Dodge said "good luck with that" when I told her I wanted to run a part number from 1968 but when she punched it in the computer took it, superceded it twice and we got a hit.

The one Chrysler lists is the sail panel emblem , atleast it was the last time I tried. The emblem is the same size,just different pins. Hope it works out,but if it don't the 46 .oo is as cheap as I've seen them.

That's what I'm wondering. Her computer basically said 'emblem' with zero description otherwise so who knows what will show up.

However, I believe the roof emblem part # is 2841886 and the grill emblem part # is 2786772, which is the number I gave her.

Ghoste

If that's the case then I'm betting it's going to be the sail panel one.

Are they the same as 69 emblems or are the studs in a different location?

I believe they switched to two-stud emblems for the grill in 69, like the roof emblems.

Yup, you guys were right. :'( Chrysler supercedes P/N 2786772 (grill emblem) to P/N 2841886 (roof emblem). Dummies.

If it's legit. And based on my experience with Dodge today I won't be holding my breath.

I wonder what the $32 grille emblem is.

good question , that page is full of errors. as is 68-69 arrow emblem with pins. the 69 ones have tiny screws from behind.....

I'm thinking the $32 "grill emblem" is the red and black penant emblem but Penstar won't answer their phone so I can ask.

So far I'm not impressed with Penstar Restorations. Called them once on Wednesday and left a message, twice on Thursday and left a message and four times today. Finally someone answered the phone and verified the grill emblem numbers but couldn't tell me if they have 68 tail panel emblems. He took my name and number and said he'd call me back if/when he found them and then he apparently closed up shop and went home without getting back to me.

Has anyone else dealt with Penstar?

At Carlisle.  Not impressed with their customer service there either.

Really?  I've bought stuff off of them at swap meets and didn't think they were that bad. :shruggy:

Sometimes it pays to spend a bit more.  How much aggravation can you take for $10 savings?   :icon_smile_big:

Oh yeah, don't worry. I'm not so cheap I won't pay and extra $10 to make a point. If/when they ever call me back I'll be telling them I took my business someplace else.

My opinion of penstar has changed from "not impressed" to "they completely suck" based on my dealings with them. They cannot/will not return phone calls which should suggest to you that those working there typically refuse to answer the phone. I talked to one person there (the one and only time anyone answered the phone) and he knew next to nothing. Said he'd call back and never did. The emails I sent them were never returned with the exception of 2-3 automated responses. The place is a joke.

Um yeah, I don't buy anything there unless, well, I've never bought anything there. It's possible that, at some point in the future, they will have the only available parts and I may have to buy them. Hopefully my cars are done long before I resort to that.
