I have to put up pictures but, I found these covers in the junkyard. They are side covers for the hatch thirdgens.... they kind of give it the look of a fastback. Again I have to get pictures in the next couple of days and I know my description is vauge but I wanna see if anyone knows what they are. I am interested in selling them. I found them on a GTA with no motor in the yard so I took them. I have never seen them before so I figured they were a rare aftermarket part.

 

Are they some kind of hatch window louvers?

 

kind of but not really louvers.... they are like pieces of metal that are formed to the glass that have 3 slots in them.... they are not really louvers... I will get a pic tonight...

 

Sounds like you have the side panels from a three piece louver set , I think that Chastain made metal side panels with three "windows" in them. The center section was a separate piece. I remember that the louver set looked strange IMHO. Dave

 

maybe... I only have the side pieces. Here are some pictures though.

 

yeah , that's what they are

 

Are they rare? Would anyone be interested in them? They do look good without the center if they are painted the same color as the car I think anyways...

 

OT- imthebriman, i see you have a W123 benz in the pic... 300D turbodiesel any chance? i used to have one, an 82. they're tanks, i had a little over 400,000 miles before i totaled it. it could have gone another 400,000 miles too...

 

Actually it is a w126. it is a 280se but we are dropping in a 420 motor

 

i had a dream about these side covers last night....dead serious. maybe im on TGO too much

 

I suggest immediate and very thorough psychiatric assistance
