I noticed there were 2 nos racks on ebay with some insane prices on them. They both had the straps. If you have them and can post a close-up here or email me a photo directly it would be greatly appreciated. I'm going to need to find a pair but have no idea what I am looking for. Up until today i didn't even know they existed. thanks, Steve rapidduster@aol.com

And on another note using PartsVoice.com it looks like Collectors Auto Supply might have an NOS set.... 2584634 1MYTGTX

Thats a darn good point. the other auction with the straps, FLR (flying lead ranch), is greg selling the late ron adairs parts. is there anyone out there that has a survivor luggage rack car that may have them also to help shed some light on this? snoopy sure makes a good point as does barry that the straps do not show up as a component of the package. YES the decal is reppoped by performance car graphics.

It had everything listed in the rack package but no evidence of any straps. Greg may have got them mixed up with with the later station wagon roof racks which I believe offered straps. FLR....good one

It too had a luggage rack and we debated re-chroming his vs. buying the expensive one on ebay. I too was puzzled about the straps. After talking with the owner, he swore thet he never had any straps with the car. It's my belief that the straps never came on a factory installed rack. I believe however they were included/added to the over the counter part/kit. -Mike Michael L. Mancini American Muscle Car Restorations, Inc. 65 Foliage Drive N.
