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. :drool:

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.

Rings for the Top Hats Differences

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.
