Original 69 GM Derby Caps Wanted

[Charley Lillard]

I counted I think 31 caps, 17 with double rib, 10 single rib and 4 new in boxes. None other than the new are like new but some are very nice. You have first shot at 4 or you can make a offer on all and pick out best .

I'd take 4 drivers and maybe the 4 NOS Charley.

Heck, lets throw in a pair of the 4 clip rings if you can pull out a decent pair. Then I'm good to go.

not to hijack this - but as another bit of info - did you know that there is a 68 only style ring that the derby hat sits on? Well know in the corvette world but no so much elsewhere.

pics ?

The 68 only caps have a rounded edge on the crest of the lip. First Pic is the 68 style and the 2nd pic is all other yrs. I have noticed other years the edge is more sharp that others but nothing like the 68's .

Having several 68 cars, the quest to find the right ring was on...was able to save a number of 68 only rings - tossed away the top hat as they are usually all scratched up.

Now we have 68 only rings and factory double ribbed top hats! Got a new market :-)

If anyone wants more pics, let me know

I can't see what you are talking about.

That's what I was referring to in my earlier post as well. The 68's are more rounded where they transition from the inner bevel to the outer returns. Great pics Ed.

A lot of people don't know about this, but then it only really matters if you're going to have your car judged. I don't think all the judges know the differences in caps either?

I found one round edge one. Hard to see it but easy to feel.
