Hood Turn signal lights delete??

[pullrock]

Does anyone know how rare it is to have delete plates for the hood blinker lights   I have them on my 1968 Charger R/T...

[Dennis K]

I've seen them on a couple of 69s, but I didn't think they were available on a 68. I've always thought that all 68s came with the signal lights in the hood as standard equipment.

There appears to be wiring under the hoof for them.  Would this show up on any paper work?

Optional,look in the lights section.

Got any pics??

Out side of the hood.

Just wanted to add that is does have Charger light Package - Code 355 (On the right side of the page under Accessory  Groups)  It does show it as an option but I have never really come across a charger without them.

Thanks for everyones HELP!

Personally,  I never used to see them that often at all, at least not until they started repopping them.

My 69 R/T is turn signal delete.  It has a black decal (possibly black paint.  Now I can't recall) over the delete plates that match the hood scallop decals.  It is an unrestored original car.  There is no wiring present under the hood for turn signals.  Everyone used to make fun of my car because it has no options besides power steering, power brakes, passenger mirror, rocker moldings, and a buddy seat.  It doesn't even headrests.  It was my first car (still have it): B7/black vinyl top/white stripe/blue interior.  440/column auto/3.23 open.

I have some very early pictures of my charger with the Delete plates in.  Just as long as others have it also.

Thanks Again!

      Ghoste, you mentioned they repop the delete plates. Where can I get them?

[8WHEELER]

They come black, my 68 set. I have not heard they were repoping them yet.

     Thanks 8wheeler. Where Can I pick up a set? Do you know of anyone that has an extra set they would like to part with? If I were to find them for sale at a swap meet or show, how much would I expect to pay? I am mildly interested.

I think he meant they are reproducing the lights now not the delete plates.  Although they would be really easy to make...

Over the years I have seen lots of people looking for them, and a few sets came on ebay I understand,
and they went for crazy money. I have never seen any for sale myself, I am holding on to the set I have
for now.

Is that a piece of foam between the backing plate and the delete plate itself? It's been to many years to remember if mine had that.....Plus they are buried in a box in the rafters of my garage so i can't just pull em out to look.

Yes its a black rubber foam type material

As far as I know, they are not reproduced at this time. That may change in the very near future though (I'm loaning my set out to someone). I agree that most everyone likes the lights so the delete plates get tossed along the way.

So how much does a set usually sell for on E-bay?

[JimShine]

My 68 had them. I have seen them range widely in price. From $50 a pair to $150.

[v21hemicharger]

I was bidding on one set that was at like $20 till the last minute.  I really wanted them and put in like $425 at the last second and was out bid.  I have not seen others for sale on the bag.  I have seen very few Chargers out here with the hood mounted turn signals.  All three of mine were not optioned w/ them.

Hold the phone... $425.00? And you were OUTBID???     

I just sold a set on eBay just the other week. I would have gladly taken HALF your offer! 
I better check to see if I have another spare set!

Thanks Bill      I have found a couple sets in the last year, one needed a new stud   
I would like to make these, but I don't think the demand is out there, or the money for what people
will think are just simply a steel piece............

I have a set on my 68, but if they are bringing in that kind of money, I might be getting the repop lights.
