Re: Freedom Battery Topper

If you use pay pal, use the F/F option. I’m giving $5 off on a topper. Please, no further fees, or send a money order,
I have 1 set of caps from a bud on my site, he went yet with a topper, they are already painted already w/ correct blue w/ freedom decals on. If you want freedom 2 we have them for $25 a set. The caps are $50 shipped in the conus.
WE DO NOT MAKE A SMALL TOPPER, OURS FITS A 78 SERIES, PLEASE READ ALL ABOVE POSTS. IT ANSWERS ALL QUESTIONS.
all 4 versions of toppers are in stock for immediate shipment.

Re: Freedom Battery Topper

I received my battery topper and it's awesome. This is how it looks in my 1982 Z28. When and if you do make one for the smaller battery, I will be a buyer for sure. This will have to do for now....there's just a little over hang on each side, but most people will probably never notice. The quality of these is great! Burd is a super great dude to work with.

Re: Freedom Battery Topper

Hi all,

This thread is a bit outdated, but I read through it and am interested in a black topper for my 85 vette that I want to take to Bloomington Gold. The battery I need is a 75 size, did that size ever get molded?

Re: Freedom Battery Topper

Sorry for the late response red85vette, but the cost to make a tool for the 75 series batteries is too expensive. There just is not enough interest to spend the money on a new tool for a smaller battery topper.

Somehow you were missed on the last shipments. It’ll go out tomorrow, and for the wait, I’ll put a Pontiac chemical spotting and Freedom battery brochure for your glovebox paperwork. Pm sent also.

Re: Freedom Battery Topper

The only bLack topper currently is the one posted. If you want to pay for the digitizing fee I can have them make anything you like. I don’t do them.
the one we make is for 1985.
that looks like a small battery also.

how many want to commit to this decal,

what cars is this battery correct for? The black topper that is made is for cars through 86-87. So far, you 2 are the only people wanting this type. I’m getting a price ro digitize this decal set, a few can chip in to get this made.

Re: Freedom Battery Topper

What version are you getting made? I have the original of my 1986 and it doesn't match any I have seen in this posting. I had plans to get some made this week but the corona virous may slow that down. this is part of what was on my original battery

Re: Freedom Battery Topper

That looks to yet be another type. If you wnt to pay for the digitizing fee, I’ll get the decals made. I can’t invest into another decal that one person is interested in. I have to get 50 min made up when I do them. So if someone pays the dig fee it’s doable. Ill pay for the run of decals.

Re: Freedom Battery Topper

For a limited time, you can get your choice of the 4 toppers avail and a free battery brochure, these are hard to find, some cars had them in the glovebox paperwork. 1 topper, 1 brochure, $65 plus $15 Priority ship in the CONUS. ( includes $50 insc insc. if more is needed, you can add more if you like. ) 2 toppers can ship for the $15, but only has $50 insc.)
Get your car ready for spring. These toppers fit a 78 series battery, white interstate battery’s looks closest to factory, smaller battery’s will have a slight over hang on end. But hardly noticeable. hurry, this deal won’t last long.
Eye is not a decal, All 4 toppers have the 2 pc plexi eye that looks real.

(brochure shown both sides)

Unless it’s a Third Gen only show, I doubt anyone there would know what was correct. Probably any black/white/silver/yellow Delco topper like above would pass most judges inspection.

I agree. Even most third gen people wouldn't know, unless they still had their original battery.

Re: Freedom Battery Topper

I don’t know if I ever posted my ‘78 with one, here’s a Freedom 400. I found my second battery in my moms garage a few years back. I went to Diehard after that battery, Freedom is correct through 1980. Then 1981 went to Freedom II. ( blue top)

Re: Freedom Battery Topper

All toppers fit on a 78 series battery. It’s just too expensive to make 3 molds.
the new topper will say Freedom, not Freedom II, Black & white decals, on a black topper. Same 2 pc Plexi Eye.

I'm in. Need a Freedom II, which is I guess the black one? Tell me where to send the money and lets do this!

I haven’t seen anything. Nothing in the pay pal.

Re: Freedom Battery Topper

I'm sorry for that. Had a bunch of other stuff pop up that's taken my ability to send you that money like I normally would. I'm saving the email I got from your reply and will get it to you next (not this) Friday. My AC quit working, and I've got a weird issue popping up where the car runs extremely rich.

I know, excuses, excuses.....but life is just weird right now.
