Excellent detail shots. Thanks for posting.
Pretty neat that Pontiac had three different color arrow heads. (Red, Silver, and Gold).

Looks like one with
silver outer edges, black separator, gold inner, black cross
and the other with
gold outer edges, black separator, gold inner, gold cross
Why two different ones ?

It's just the low quality picture. They are the same.

impossible to find also.... been looking for them on and off for a while. NO luck. I've tried all NOS part vendors and nobody can locate them. I have a couple of dealer contacts that also search parts for me and they can't even find them. I did manage to find 2 NOS red ones though  |

Haha, that looks familiar... those are pics I took with a bad quality video camera of the caps I bought from a guy who was selling his 82recaro on ebay in 2001 or 2002, .. it was in sorta rough shape, restorable with a lot of work to be done, and he didn't care about keeping the car complete, and since my car came with invalid N24's instead of N89s , I bought his caps for a couple hundred bucks.. It's the only set I've ever seen in person, and only one of about 5 or 6 that I know to exist.. they're in near-mint condition too because he took them off the car long before that. a few more pics of my low-option car and caps: my car as it came  my car photoshopped with proper wheels  valid cap, invalid wheel  hood reflection. notice 82 'vette logos, added by previous owner  cap shot  cap rear  cap detail  seats  LU5  hood  trunk  tail light  odometer, at 3410 lately  gt |

Wow! I have never seen a hood bird off like that. Guy must have installed it before he drank his coffee. Car looks super though! George  |

Your car looks awsome kizz! Are the Vette logo's gold? That is a clever touch by the previous owner. |

The hood eagle is off much less than it appears in the pic. Take a look at the "V" ridge of the hood's front edge, and you'll see the eagle is pretty darn close to that. The hood's reflection is a little deceptive from that angle in that lighting.
It's embarrassing to admit, but I got into a fender bender with that car a while back.. just a very minor bump, but enough to affect the passenger's side fender and front bumper cover. Fender can probably be fixed, but bumper cover is cracked open on the corner.
Here's an oddity for you.. the fender (Norwood) is stamped 10015855, but all the Van Nuys fenders I'm finding are 10017343, from the SAME year! I think Norwood and Van Nuys used different part numbers for the same exact part, which would be very strange, in my opinion.
Now I'm trying to find those parts in NOS, and they just don't exist...

yeah the Vette logos originally were supposed to be silver on the Corvette, but these are hand-painted gold, and kinda sloppy, but since they were already on there, I think it adds a really unique look to the car so I'll keep them for now.

Thank you for the pictures! You're brave driving that car around I'd be afraid to let the sun touch it... let alone drive it.  That's odd about the part numbers. I wish I still had my DT500 around to compare the numbers with my Van Nuys '83 TA. Edit: I just remembered that the fenders that are on my '83 are from an '82. They are stamped 10017343/4. |
