I put louvers on my FY1 Mr.Norms GSD T/A, and LOVED how it came out. Yes, it is scary drilling the holes, but I had an original louver T/A to reference from. I no longer own the car, but I always got good compliments on the louvers from other E body folk... PS- the car was also non numbers, but had all other docs..

not louvers , and not meaning to hijack , but I just saw a car on the road I had forgotten about, haven't seen it in 10-12 years - it is a 1970 Cuda convertible, 340 - 4spd , F8 (I think), white hockey stick stripe, with 71 Cuda gills in the front fenders. I remember speaking to the owner when I first saw the car - he told me he loved the 71 fenders and had a body shop do the cut outs and installed NOS fender gills - this is now probably 20-25 years ago or more - he might be the original or second owner - I forget - this was before anyone was stamping, cutting or anything . The worst part is that the body shop did the cut outs in the wrong spot - they start over the wheel wells - too far forward - it is what it is - he did it when the prices on these cars were next to nothing - and it's his car - I'd say do what makes you happy - I happen to love the look of the rear window louvers !

If you like the louvers put them on, only if they are the "original" style.....repro or not,.....the crap cheap aftermarket jcw, interpart, etc.....are junk......Gregory's or originals.......while your at it,....a nice set of 15X7 Rallies would set that car off just right! I'm suprised no one has said anything about your wheel lip mouldings? .....Nice car though!

I'm pretty sure JC Whitney sells some that are made out of plastic that would look killer on there!
Daniel, Just because YOUR car has a bunch of plastic on it doesn't mean mine should!!! HA HA HA !! Just kidding everyone,, Daniel's car isn't loaded with plastic. ,,,,,, ROADRUNNER: I got the car from North Carolina with a 1994 inspection from South Carolina. Ya never know. It is the same part of the country. DAYCLONA: It's coded for Ralleys but I love the steel wheel look,,, so it got steelies. Easy swap compared to the louvers so that was an easy decision.
