I think Mr Gardener is looking for an original so he can add one more part to their already great exhaust line-up!

I Didn't realize this was Gardner Exhaust himself asking..I feel stupid.
Now I see what he is asking.Sorry for the ignorance..
There was a good used set that sold on Ebay a few weeks ago for around 550.00.

Nobody should feel ignorant and stupid. We are just looking for some originals right now to see what they looked like. Even in our business we have only come upon a few customers who claim they have them on original cars. We have yet to see a one and would like to satisfy our curiousity.

Thank you for the kind words though.

Those are the ones that are not "rolled" on the ends. Here is the correct link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=10076

I was told that those are for 70 to 72. The 69 that he is looking for are not a tip its part of the pipe 68 and 69 only. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif[/img]

Re: 69 Rolled Chevelle Chrome Extensions
 

I have researched these tips and from what I can tell the rolled tip was early 69 only. The rolled tip was changed to cut off tip because of rust problem with water trapping in rolled edge. Most original 69's I have seen do not have rolled tip. They have cut off tip with no part number stamped on. The GM repop has a part number stamped in it.

Re: 69 Rolled Chevelle Chrome Extensions
 

The 1968 Chevelle SS did not have the chrome tips. The tail pipe on the 68 Chevelle ended at the corner of the quater panel behind the tire and pointed out. This obviously would not accomodate a chrome extension.

The 1969 Chevelle would be the only one with the rolled tips and we are not sure when they ended. We feel that they ended before the end of the production year but are not sure when. (this is the one we are looking for)

The 1970-1972 Chevelle Chrome extension is the one available today. It might have possibly been used on the late 1969 Chevelles.

What Joe says makes sense. But if the tips rusted out that fast the replacement tip sold by GM a year or two later would not have the part number in it either. So the cars outfitted with these tips would appear to have original extensions that were not rolled even though the original extensions which were, are now long gone. Just a thought.

My 69 SS was delivered 12-27-68 and had the rolled tips. They were actual tips and not part of the tailpipe. I have a set of the reproduction ones that I purchased from George Lyons a few years back.

Re: 69 Rolled Chevelle Chrome Extensions
 

69 exhaust extentions with rolled tips were something I researched quite extensively in 1987-89 when I purchased a 22000 mile L78 survivor, chambered ex from the orig owner. perfect, no part # tips were on car and 1970 dated wedding photos clearly showed them. Tips seemed to be randomly installed first half of year and the only other 2 cars I could ever verify were chambered also, BUT I am not claiming this is the case. NO, they did NOT come on 70SS454 Monte Carlos. Subsequently I did reproduce a total of about 15 absolute dead on sets but they were pricey for the time. I still have the tooling and could run some again if need be. my phone if prefered is 814-450-0926
