What it is is a rare 1 of 1,000 (so I was told) 1960 GMC truck hood ornament. I have another but it has a broken tail piece.
Yes, I know I must be nuts to pay what I did, but I put up $300.00 and at the last 20 seconds 8 more bids hit, I almost fainted.

It looks better than the pictures show and really does not need re-chroming, but I will anyway in another year. AFter the truck gets painted. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 42 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 42 | good score, a buddy of mine's dad has one of those on his old jimmy and we always made fun of it and told him to take it off (i had always thought it was off of a bel air or something) guess i know now why he always laughed at us for telling him it looked like it didnt belong on the truck and to take it off. silly kids we where.i didnt ever have a clue to think it would be something that rare. and especially original equip. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 | If you waited that long and wanted it that bad I say good score as well. Every time you look out over that hood it should be a source of pride for you. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 2,644 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 2,644 | Now that you have a nice master, it's recast time :whistle: | | | | | Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 1,181 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 1,181 | I wish I knew how to cast molten metal, Want to try;) | | |
